Sir,
I should be very glad, if it lies within the compass of your powers, if you would order the revenue cutter in this port to accompany the Snow Acteon laden with Arms and public Stores as you are informed to Norfolk—
With great respect
Mr. Sands, Collector of the port of New York
(Df, in the handwriting of Ethan Brown, Hamilton Papers, Library of Congress).
