Sir,

I have the honor to send you the enclosed papers, in order that you may see what grounds I gave my Sanction to the Expenditures made by Capt. Ellery. be apprised of the subject of them.

I request that you will add your Sanction if lest the want of it should be an obstacle with the comptroller—

With great respect I have the honor to be Sir Yr. ob. Servt.

Secy. of War—
