Sir:
By the last Mail we had the honor of addressing your Excellency on the subject of issuing warrants for a future allowance, as the time
of our Service here appeared every day less certain. Should your Excellency be disposed to issue the warrants I have taken the liberty to trouble Mr. Haywood with the Negotiations as I only wish the Money ready, should I be obliged to borrow here, to enable me to repay with Punctuality. We move slowly in our business, it is indeed a work of great delicacy & difficulty; impeded every step by jealousies and interest.
