Sir:
I rec'd your Excellency's orders to send an officer with six men which I shall comply with and your orders in every respect. I hope I shall be able to send them off by the 10th of December. I also acknowledged the receipt of your warrant for £200 on the public; I observe you recommend me to act on all similar occasions that may happen agreeable to your orders which I shall comply with as near as possible. I am sir, your Mo. ob. huml. Servt.
