I distrust Colonel Moody's calculations & I fear his arrangements. But there is no help for it, but to desire him to afford the accommodation desired by Capn Gossett; if he is sure there is room, & it will not cause
demands for more storage in other ways.

Annex draft to that effect. Capn Gossett will however have
to wait for some time before he receives his baggage as the
