James Jay is sending only a small
            quantity of the secret ink Washington has asked for, but it is all that remains of the
            supply he brought from Europe. He has some of the ingredients for making more, and can
            easily obtain the other components, but unfortunately he has no space to set up an
            apparatus for producing the ink. Besides, no materials and no workmen are available for
            erecting a furnace or a hut. James Jay would be glad to makeup more of the ink if
            Washington would direct Colonel Hay to furnish him with a workman and other
            requisites.</dc:description></oai_dc:dc>
