Sir:

Your favor of the 28th ulto. came to hand last evening. I am really concerned to find you have no prospect of getting teams from any other quarter than the back country, where I find by the gentleman who came from the counties to the westward to attend the Assembly, very few are to be had, and those at a most extravagant rate. The Assembly adjourned early yesterday, and the members in general were gone before your letter came to my hands, so that I had it not in my power to consult any of the gentlemen who could give me information respecting the purchase of wagons and teams. I will endeavor to get a person to go out to purchase, and inform you his success so soon as it is in my power.
