Sir your order of this day
is received shall any information
(if favorable) [?] my duty. The
express mail will be in tomorrow
in morning . I Hope to hear

[?] May 7 [?]
1813
Since writing the above Judge Pease has
arrived who says that no further information
[?] has been sent from the garrisons
at the west . I am very much inclined
to believe that the militia from this
Brigade will not be required, and as
it will be very destructive to the
interest of the people now to be
well off you will please to advise me
if I may on any condition delay
the march of the men from my
Brigade [?] [?] [?]
