My attention to providing materials in building the gallies and also to other business that has occurred in consequence of Pittsburgs being head quarters has increased my duty to such a degree that I have but few serene moments
a receipt for the several loads delivered by James Hamilton and waggons employed by him is enclosed herewith addressed to Hamilton among the several articles delivered by the waggons are three barrels of tar and two of pitch - articles that can be procured in great plenty at this post on moderate terms
the ship carpenters employed at the gallies have requested me to send their letters under cover to Philadelphia. You will need four of these enclosed herewith and of which you will please to take the necessary notice
