Sir -
I have received your letter of the 22d instant, enclosing Paul Ralstons receipt, which shall be attended to agreeably to your wishes. Your draft is presented and honored. The files, the Pod Augers, and Whipsaws shall be provided and forwarded shortly. The duplicate supplies for those taken down the river by the General is purchased and will be loaded to day. A considerable quantity of Clothing for the Troops is also on the road, but on account of receiving, no returns at the War Office, we could only mark them generally for the first and secondregiments - such quantity as we suppose will supply the Posts dependent on yours will be sent, and the more minute distribution may be made by you when the actual situation of the Troops is known.
