Dear Sir

D^r M J M^cKie is in receipt of an order from Liut Genl Pemberton to impress all horses not engaged in Me=chanical or Agricultural pursuits

Please advise me if I must go on to fill your order, or shall I turn over to D^r M^cKie the ones I have impressed & assist him in carrying out Genl Pembertons order

Yours very Respectfully
