Timothy Walker, Jun., to William Whipple

v3:969

Modford, October 15, 1775.

SIR: Yours of the 12th instant, by Mr˙ Perkins, came safe to hand. I waited upon General Washington yesterday morning, but found he had set out early for Roxbury, and was not expected back till three o' clock, P˙ M˙, at which time I called again, and found him at home. The General, after reading your letter, told me I must call next morning for an answer. I called accordingly, and received the enclosed. The General directed me to call on the Commissary-General for some cash to pay the freight of some flour, which, it seems, is coming this way. I called at the Commissary' s office, but was informed that the money was not to be had at present, but that they would forward it us soon as it would arrive from Philadelphia,

I am your most obedient and very humble servant,

TIMOTHY WALKER, JUN.

To William Whipple, Esq˙, Chairman of the Committee of Safety for New-Hampshire.
