Sir:

If Captain Pearl arrives safe with the drafts from this county, he will deliver you a cask containing sixty three pairs soldiers shoes. The cloathing you wrote me about, applyed to the Agents for; but it is entirely without trimmings, and I am afraid the public cannot supply me with money to purchase any. I have already made application, without success; but intend waiting on the Governor & Council immediately, to see what they can do. If trimmings can be procured you may depend on it, Sir, the cloathing shall be made

up; though in the mean time should be glad of your direction as to the manner & form of the coats &c. I am Sir
