To David Ross
In Council March 30th. 1781
Sir
Being called on for Swords for General Spotswood’s two Legions, and for our Cavalry on Continental establishment, to be procured immediately, You will be so good as to order five hundred to be made at Mr. Hunters. General Spotswood I suppose will chuse to direct the form of those to be made for his Legions. The Residue we would be glad to have made on a model which will be lodged with Mr. Hunter by Major Call. I am &c.,
T. J.
