arrangements made with the Commissariat to receive
the wheat as there is a Storekeeper there to take charge
of it. -

I beg to add, that if a large boat be furnished to
me, no exertion shall be wanting to have the Maize Crop
Speedily removed to the large Store on the Settlement, the
lower floor of which is large enough to receive all my
Maize, where it can he kept under the Centinel more
secure than I have the means of keeping it. -

I have the honor to be

Sir

Your Ob't Serv't
