notable phrase
The secretary of war has directed my to transmit you the enclosed copy of a letter received, this day from Mr. Cranch, the Armourer, at West Point
complaining of the conduct of Mr. Annely the gunsmith
you will investigate this
if I am not prevented by the ungenerous conduct of those who wish to retard the public business in this place by influencing my workmen to leave me
This which is matter of absolute fact shows him to be utterly regardless of the public interest
