War Office
October 11th 1813
Sir,
It is presumed an additional supply of ammunition, beyond the resources of the State of Georgia, will be required for the Expedition against the hostile Indians, & the Ordnance Dept. has been directed to have prepared and delivered to you at Charleston without delay One hundred thousand Ball cartridges.~
You will ascertain from Captain [unclear text: Mayart ] [unclear text: Asst. Dy. Comy ] of Ordnance the progress under that Order, & communicate with & take the direction of the Governor of Georgia relative to the points for transportation.
It will be advisable to keep the ammunition as much as possible within the Control of your Department that such as may not be used, can be hereafter appropriated for the regular troops. ~
Should it become necessary for the accommodation of the Rifle Troops, you will have part of the [unclear text: munition ] transported in powder & lead. ~
I am Sir very respectfully [unclear text: &c ]
[Signed] Danl. [Daniel] Parker [illegible text]
