exceeding good quality
put into other smiths hands
iron work for the small frigate
official orders to the contrary
years
expect the business of the small frigate
there seems to be nothing decisive done
occasion for the clerks attention
power of other persons to take what they please and without any kind of check as he certainly has the best knowledge of every stick of timber and all the materials belonging to the continent
small frigate is building within a few rods of the other frigates
timbers, knees
plank
application for the frigate business
probability of Quincy being displaced in consequence
reason that Mr. Hacket did not receive his money sooner was on account of Mr. Whipple the collector being for some time at his farm in the country
received your esteemed favor
