Sir
I inclose you a letter from Captain John Bishop dated the 9 instant, with a copy of my answer thereto.
You will be pleased to take such order respecting its contents, as to you may appear expedient. I need not observe, that when cloathing or other articles are wanted for any portion of the army, there must be a regular requisition for them, by the proper officer, founded upon returns.
I have the honor to be
with great respect, Sir
Your Obedient and Humb Servt.
