There are 40 muskets (minus) drawn by the Newman Guards, more at Pensacola. I understand, gone hardly unused, their return to the (?). I further deem that they are young and unfit for service. I have a company just organized, not yet supplied with the arms and would like exceedingly well to have the use of them til my company til I can include other arms for them. Can give you any (?) you may devise for their safe and prompt return when demanded. Please let me hear from at once.

Very Respectfully M. Kendrick"
