Sir,
The inclosed papers were directed to me, under the supposition I were at Fort Jay. They have been received, unaccompanied by William Rice, on whose subject they have been written. Lest necessary information should be diverted from its proper channel; I do myself the honour to transmit them to you. I refer in the first instance to Captain Stoddard’s letter, marked A.
With perfect respect, I am Sir, Your most obed Serv.
