Philadelphia Apl 10th. 1781
Dear Sr.
I receivd yours of the 6th with the money enclosd - & Shall loose no time in forwarding the wine. Col. Harrison has been in Town some days past sick - & proposes sending a light waggon down with his Baggage, if there is some I shall send a quarter cask of wine by that opportunity. What you mention of Capt Murray Shall be attended to. Nothing more of the embarkation at New York officially since the letters the President sent you.1 The reinforcement arrived in Chessapeake were in 18 Transports, supposed to be under the Command of Genl. Philips.
I am Dear Sr. with great regard & esteem, Yr hu Obt Sert,
Danl Carroll
