notable phrase
an order
medicine which I have received
letter directing me to get
shall be issued as you have directed
detachment at Winchester about 200 men some officers & a surgeon's mate
this I did without your order
judged it a public advantage as the articles must have been purchased from the Physicians at an extravagant price
dollars saved by it
still two thirds of them in my possession
wish you to inform me whither I did right or not
Apothecary will not like my method of making returns for medicine
it will amuse me in compounding & what is still better I will be certain of the composition
want more medicine from you before winter
not now prepared to make a return
