In answer to your letter of the 13th instant I would state that Mr. J. H.

For the corn taken up by you your receipt in duplicate should be given, blank copies of which I herewith inclose.
You will also find inclosed General Orders, No. 8, in reference to all supplies taken up from citizens.
Very respectfully, &c.,
