Asks Knox to send him "about 25 pounds of ten penny nails" in order to complete General Louis Du Portail's quarters since he had asked Colonel Timothy Pickering about them but now is asking Knox "because I can't get anything from the quarter master." He apologizes for troubling him "about a such a trifle" and sends his compliments to Lucy Knox.
