Sir:—
I have impressed Upwards of 2,000 Gallons Rum, 9,000 pounds Sugar, 1,000 lbs. Coffee, near 700 yards Canvass, some
Cartridge Paper, and a small Quantity of Ammunition. More Rum, Sugar and Coffee can be had if it is wanting. Here is a Quantity of Canvass belonging to some Refugees from South Carolina. Should be much obliged to you to inform me whether their Property are to be impressed or not. If it is, I can procure more Canvass.
