notable phrase
fortunately this happened to be standing by me, three persons of respectability, who saw me take it out of the mail and open it in their presence
on reading the paragraph where you say "enclosed you have a post note for on hundred dollars, to reimburse you, the sum advanced the balance shall be forwarded as soon as the vouchers come to hand and inform me the amount"
I stopped, communicated that part and requested them to take particular notice that there was no enclosed bank note or any other thing
the waggons employed in the transportation of the forts have not yet returned, when they do, I will forward Major Craigs receipts together with such other vouchers as will be required to obtain payment
every inquiry in my power has been made
