Knoxville 28 May 1804.
Sir
Your favour of the 15th instant together, with Messrs Pipkins and Joslins, also and a Certificate of Sheriff Boyds, enclosed which were directed to your self have come duly to hand - there has been no objection opposition to opposed ^to prevent Mr Pipkins being commissioned -I believe that the return was some time long coming to ^our hands, but the delay of the commission has been ^here chiefly occasioned by Mr Maclins being ^intirely drained of the materials necessary for compleating the Commissions. He was disappointed by one of the Merchants and had to send a second time, who have ^and has but very lately received a small supply - We were apprized of the time of the election for Brigadier and intended by no means to omit sending the Commissions ^forward in time, for my own part I did not think ^conceive any inconvienancy could arise, provided the Commissions went forward before the day of the election, which will be the case, ^they will be forwarded from the post office on friday first day of June, and they will certainly arrive time enough previous to the election - I assure you sir, that there has been such a deluge of business on our hands that it has been with difficulty we could discharge that of the most important - I have the honour &c &c
