Sir,
   I desire to send Mr R. Swepson to Nassau to purchase supplies for this Company & to forward some already purchased & that have been detained there for six months. I have selected Mr Swepson among other reasons as being exempt from military service. I hope you will furnish him the necessary passport for this service.
Very Respectfully Your Obt Servt
