We have received yours of the 5^th Ins^t The Prices you
have mentioned of the Blanketts, appear to us extravagant.
We request you to purchase one Thousand for which you may

Prices of such other Articles as are proper for the Army.
The Sale of the Galley is satisfactory.
We are &^ca
James Calhoun Esq^r
