master of this vessel
arrived here with timber from Georgia
do not exert themselves as they should
forty hands employed and are going on with vigor
ere this I hope an end is put to the business of the British treaty and it has been agreed to carry it into effect
arrival of 98 pieces of live oak
daily expect a sloop with another cargo
inform the secy of this circumstance
I have your favour
saw the proposed resolution of Gallatun's seconded by Saml. Smith respecting the naval armaments
wish that business was brought to us here
