| Sir, |
| I am instructed by Maj Genl
Magruder to say that you will accept the offer of Mr Morgan to sell the
trees at (10) Ten dollars pr tree. The General, on second thought
regards this as reasonable, being over 3 for one. |
| There is, therefore, no
necessity for impressment. This would be expensive. Lt Story of Col Dr
Berry's Regiment, is given orders for impressment & directed to act in
concert with you. Please show him this letter & say that his orders are
countermanded. |
| I am, Sir, Very Respy |
| Your obt Svt |
