Lieutenant
I have the honor to return herewith nineteen dollars & twenty cents which you forwarded to me to be used for defraying the expense of the Transportation of Wm McCrae from this place to Plymouth.

As the father was not able to bear the expense of sending a Messenger for his son, I did all in my power to have him come here without incuring any expense, but I have failed entirely and completely to do so. The result of my efforts has been that some person or persons, who are probably interested in his labor have advised him not to come here but to keep out of the way
