[Charleston] June 28th.
Dear Sir,
I send you 500 pounds of powder. I should think you may be supplied well from Haddrell's....You know our collection is not very great. Honor and victory, my good sir, to you, and our worthy countrymen with you.
Yours, J. Rutledge.
P.S. Do not make too free with your cannon. Cool and do mischief.
