Hodgden Sir
The articles to be ifsued issued from the public Store for the Frigate building at Philadelphia will be So numerous as to render it inconvenient and a lofs loss of time for the Constructor to apply to the War Office for a Special Order in every case. You will therefore deliver Such articles immediately on the orders of Mr. Humphreys the Constructor.
