Marked copy. Writes to Colonel Edward Carrington regarding movement of military stores to Richmond or Westham, Virginia. Advises that Westham is a very unsafe place & Richmond much worse. An Easterly wind is a fair wind for the Enemy's shipping to run up the river, it generally brings rain which prevents the militia from turning out so readily, and of course [lessens?] the opposition; besides it swells the River in such a manner that there is no moving against it: and if you have your stores at Richmond or Manchester, the same objections apply, with the additional risk from the want of Land carriage. Discusses other methods of transport like canoes and wagons, and addresses General George Washington's objectives as expressed in his recent letter to government - The defence of this country...as well as the supply of the Southern Army. Labeled War Office as the location. Probably enclosed with GLC02437.01330. See also GLC02437.01324.
