[Rd. Hooe, Alexandria to Gov. Lee.]

S^r By the bearer Roger Chew you will receive two Letters brought
here this Morning by an express.
I am exceedingly sorry Parker did not get here in time to send
the despatches all by one rider, for it has disconcerted us a good deal,
being obliged to send the Man Stationd for you with Parkers Letters
to Richmond, & now have to hunt for one to go to Annapolis
Besides it will unnecessarily Cost at least 200 £ Virg^a Currency
sending the extra express all owing to Parkers delay.
Your Excellency was very obliging in the good news you was so
kind as to give me by Burk, it has revived us much, and I am very
thankfull for it.
