Philadelphia March 27. 1784

Sir

I am sensible embarrasments of a peculiar nature has prevented your attention to my several estimates __ when I had the pleasure of seing [sic] you last you gave me encouragement to expect payment of those that respected the Armoury immediately; perhaps this in the Multiplicity of business may have slipped your Memory, I am now under the necessity of making another application, as the undertakers have informed me, that for want of money they must discharge the principal part of their workmen this day__ the State of the Arms would render this injurious to the public, and if possible I am sure you will prevent it__I have other accounts to estimate but shall not lay them before you at present
