Sir
I have to acknowledge the receipt of Blanks Circulars and orders, Letter of transmittal dated Aug. [[underlined]] 12th [[/underlined]]  They have been strangely delayed. With them was a Roll for Lieut. Rew which I will forward. I also Recd on the 21st your communications of the 19th and 20th and order to open an office at Grenada. Also circulars and orders &c. Please send more blank Contracts if I must depend on your office for them. I will write today to Grenada to see if I can get them there. I have been troubled very much for want of them and the 20 just Recd. will not probably last
