With these few lines I let you know that I could not buy
any cloth from M^r Igelberger, for he asked me 18/ shillings
p^r yard. I bought some in another store for 17/6, and it was
allowed by several store keepers that that cloth for 17/6 was
5 shillings better as that for 18/. Now Gentlemen I would
know of you if I shall send the bill of cost to you or give it to
M^r Chace. I would know if you would allow my men lether
britches, for they are agreed to pay the ballance of the britches
out of their wages, if you are agreed, and I let you know that
the first Leftennent, as you desired me to let you know, he is
a wool card maker, my Leftennent Stelz is since I left you
come to me again, and is well, and is will to go with me again.
I would be obliged to you if you would send me the Peoples
shirts and shoes, and send me stead of one shirt and one pair
of shoes, two pair, for I am ready to march at every minute I
have not any blankets yet, but M^r Chase promised me to give
me an order for them this day. Your humble Servant.
