Major
I have the honor to transmit enclosed the original commission of R.F. Lehman Esq as Notary Public, which you will observe is for no definite period but to all intents & purposes unlimited. I hope the Paymaster General will see no objection to it, and put it on record. Mr Lehman desires it returned as early as possible.

Very Respectfully
Your Obt Servt
