Sir,
I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your Excellencys two favors of the 28th of December and 11th of January last, the former covering a list of Invalid pensioners, dated the 10th of December 1789.
They leave to observe that the list of Invalids acknowldged on the 25th April 1789 to have been received by me was a list for the year 1787 which rendered a more recent list necefsary.
In the advertisement respecting the payment of the Invalids it is stated that those for Virginia would be paid by William Heth? at Bermuda Hundred_ but as a matter of accomodation, he will authorize some person to make the payments at Richmond; which it is hoped will be a
satisfactory
satisfactory arrangement.
Availing the public of your goodny's, I have the honor herewith to transmit one of Hutchins's maps of the Western Country, which although not accurate will show the divisions of the Counties generally, when the same shall be marked thereon_ you will then pleases to return it to me.
I pray your Excellency to consider that it was the intention of the President of the United States that Virginia should have the best powder returned for the advance she made to Chickasaws_ If therefore the report of the Commifsary should be unfavorable to the public powder at present in Virginia, I will on being informed thereof direct that the quantity to be replaced shall be shipped either from
from this post in Philadelphia, to such place in Virginia as you shall please to point out.
I have the honor to
With great respect
