Orders Captain Bryant to arrange for a cooper to repair powder casks and to have Mr. Smith purchase the hoops for the repairs of the powder casks. Warns Bryant to be "extremely careful that no accident happens with the powder" and to remember the instructions Knox gave him in 1785, indicating that "any misfortune arising from the least inattention on your part will never be forgiven by the public." With a postscript asking him to "Inform Mr. Henly I received his letter." Written from the War Office.
