Sir,
Your favor of the 21 instant
I duly received. The five thousand dol=
lars I received this day by Capt. Bruff, &
receipted to him for them. I should
have forwarded you before now a large
packet of vouchers, had I not received the
20 inst. a letter from Major Hodgson, in
which he desires me to immediately go on with
the inspection of the ordnance & military stores
here, & furnish him with an accurate return
of them, adding nothing is of equal consequence
with the return, that I must attend myself
in preference to any other duties. —
I am, Sir,
Your most obed.
