he had them in his pocket, given by Capt Cook. I asked
him if he wou'd let me see them he told me no, I then asked
him his Reason for not showing them to me he told me that
it was Cap' Cooks Orders that he shou'd let no man see them.
If I had acted in a line of my duty shoud have put him
under Arrest, but Concluded Capt Cook had given such Orders
& did not Chose at that time to enter into disputes with any
officer belonging to the State.
Had Capt Cook Apply'd to me or aney officer at the Fort
he might have had every Vessell Stop't without putting him-
self to the trouble of sending his mate there, which I took in
no other light then insulting me, but as I did not know what
your Orders were, did not Act in the same manner as I shoud
otherwise have done, as I am Confident you wou'd not allow
aney officer in the State to be Ill treated unless he deserved
it) cant imagine you gave Capt Cook Orders to Act as he did.
I am Sir
