I beg leave to apprize you that the nine [indecipherable] thorough bred Marino Rrams which I engaged to supply Government with at three Guineas a head are now ready to be delivered.
As the season has arrived when these animals require to be shorn I take the liberty to recommend that some person be be authorized to receive them before the heat becomes more excessive, or should it be inconvenient to remove them at this time they can be marked with the Government Brand and be shorn at Camden.
