Sir, |
I desire to send Mr R. Swepson to Nassau
to purchase supplies for this Company & to forward some already
purchased & that have been detained there for six months. I have
selected Mr Swepson among other reasons as being exempt from military
service. I hope you will furnish him the necessary passport for this
service. |
Very Respectfully Your Obt Servt |
