Sir.
We have ordered by Serjeant Smoot 10 Coatees, 10 p
Overalls & 10 p^r Shoes. In yours of the 9^th Ap^l you mention
that you had been obliged to purchase Corn for the Recruits
and had inclosed the Receipt for the same, to the Auditor,
and desired it might be ordered to be paid. We have made
Enquiry at the Auditors Office and M^r Vallette says it never
came there; M^r Smoot does not know the sum, or we would
send it on Account, to be setled when you came up.
We are &^ca
Col^o John H. Stone.
