War Department,
14th July 1791
Sir,
I have received your letter of the 4th instant. eh information which you transmit is peculiarly satisfactory. I am confident all things will be well arranged in your department.--
The Clothing has gone forward, and I believe every other thing, the additional Shoes and colors excepted which will be in motion in a few days.--
Mr. Swan has not yet returned from Maryland, but I expect him daily. Upon his arrival, if the employment is agreeable to him, he soon will go on to join you. Capt. Houdin will set out to day.
I hope all good report respecting General Scott may prove true_but I [undecipherable] of what they are.
