Acknowledges Clarke's of 6th inst: endorses bills at rate requested Care Clarke has taken in the preservation of this garrison shall certainly be acknowledged. By Caulfeild's of the 2nd, he will see how seasonable was the supply of 25 bbls. pork and 2 hhds. molasses. Has directed the agent to pay promptly; so hopes Clarke will forward supplies required for his personal use. The hhds. of molasses gauge at 105 not 115 gallons: believes it was a mistake. "My most humble Service to yr Spouse for her kind present." Enclosed letter to be forwarded. Forgot to mention 6 gallons vinegar in his last.
