Fort Wilkinson Sept^r. 3^d. 1799

Sir,

The Inclosed I rec^d. from herewith is a copy of what I rec^d. from Colo. Hawkins, about three weeks past, but have been it would have been forwarded by last Post, but about that Time I was confined seven or eight Days with a fever, which is common in the Garrison. The Indians complain much for want of Powder, Flints, Salt and Blankets. In my last to you I mentiond that I saw no account of Blankets in the Invoice but it was an oversight in me, In Bale N^o. 5. is said to contain ten striped Blankets.

I am Sir

your obedient & Hbl. Servⁿ
