Sir,

I have received the inclosed letter from a J Valentine a private Soldier at Fort Jay. You will make enquiries as to the truth of its contents & report to me accordingly.

Captn. Eddins has also recommended to me the discharge of J. M. Perrin a private Soldier in his Company, to which I shall have no objection provided Perrin procures an able substitute in his place.

with true consideration &—

Captn. Read
