I inclose you a letter from Captain John Bishop dated the 9 instant, with a copy of my answer thereto.

You will be pleased to take such order respecting its contents, as to you may appear expedient. I need not observe, that when cloathing or other articles are wanted for any portion of the army, there must be a regular requisition for them, by the proper officer, founded upon returns.

I have the honor to be, with great respect, Sir Your Obedient and Huml Servt.
