the thing should be done as quietly as possible, I will ask you to instruct me how to proceed. Whether I should send you an Inventory of what I have or whether you should send me one of what you want. I will go to Lord Panmure (I cannot, alas! to Dr. Smith) to settle the matter if you recommend it. It strikes me that Fort Pitt is a very good place to begin because it must have room for Pack Stores.
