Your letter of this morning on the subject of finding where the arms have been sent and having them put into the hands of the militia I have this moment received. I think most of these arms have been sent off in different directions by the orders of Colo. Davies who I beleive therefore to be best acquainted with their situation. If I did not misunderstand him to-day he has accordingly directed particular bodies of militia to go to particular places to receive arms. However (if I do not go to Richmond to-night which I have some thought of doing) I will write to Colo. Muter to appoint some proper person to undertake and execute this business immediately as you desire, as I wish exceedingly to relieve you from every unnecessary embarrasment when I know you are exposed to but too many which are unavoidable.

I have the honor to be with great esteem Sir Your most obedt. servt.,
