Summary
Congress has instructed him to prepare an account of the slaves carried away by the British forces; he has had a clerk working on the account for six weeks, and it is now complete. However he will have to hire extra clerks at considerable expense to provide the thirteen copies they requested. Encloses the original account; suggests that it might be cheaper to print it.
