Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writes that he received a letter regarding Mr. [Stephen] Bruce's contracting to provide rations for the troops currently being raised. Would be happy to consider him for the contract, but his powers are constrained as the Board of Treasury has agreed on the principles of an extensive contract for all the demands of the establishment. The Board is apparently planning to select one contractor to provide payment, clothing, and rations, and other supplies.

Would be happy to put Mr. Bruce's name into contention. Also discusses the Massachusetts insurgents.

The fact is that I have been unable to give you any satisfaction on these points.

But the funds indispensible [sic] for an energetic establishment have been to be provided. [...] I have been steadily of opinion that the public had better suffer all the injuries arising from a want of troops than to raise them without being able to provide for them completely in all respects. under this impression I have made some attempts to influence the rich in support of government, and the ensuing week will determine whether I have been as successful as I have believed.
