Comments that he has waited for the Governor and Mr. Jones so they all might, with Capt. Singleton, arrange to deposit the stores in Westham or Richmond, but he had to go on to meet General Arthur St. Clair's Division.

Has enclosed a copy of General Knox's instructions to follow as best he can, and expects him to meet with the Executive when he arrives.
