Matters of pay; government removal to Philadelphia; pay reductions; the lottery

From Headquarters Fort Washington, Harmar mentions that punctual payments always ensure discipline. Is happy that Congress had determined to remove to Philadelphia. Will discontinue forwarded subscription of Tenno's paper as he will send a copy directly to Harmar in the future. Reductions of officer's pay is a very hard case indeed, does not think much about the soldiers. Harmar himself subjected to heavy personal expenses. Discusses the procurement of lottery tickets. Mrs. Harmar pays compliments.
