[illegible] [No. 31] · Philad: Novemb^r 10. 1791 I have received your Letter of the 27 Octob^a last and observe what you mention respecting [undecipherable], & by the Invoice that [undecipherable] gave him, it appears that I had omitted inserting forty six Blankets which were in the Box of Clothing forwarded by him — they are however regularly entered in the Receipt taken in the Books in this Office, and are to be Credited in your Books as being received by him & delivered to you — I find that I had omitted Several Articles forwarded by Waggoners in their Invoices — M^r Michael [undecipherable] took on twenty five Boxes of ball which I had omitted inserting in his Invoice, altho regularly inserted in the Receipt taken in our Books — & I think there were other omissions of the like sort which I cannot now [undecipherable] — [undecipherable] which are all inserted in the receipts in the books in this Office — these omissions you will please to attribute to this great hurry of business which I have constantly been engaged [undecipherable] since M^r Hodgdon went on to the Army — Yesterday I loaded James Hamilton with a Chest of Medicines, three Cases of Woolen Overalls, Eleven Pigs of Lead — the weight of each Article [undecipherable] inserted in the Duplicate Receipt he has with him — the number of Overalls contained in each of the three Cases I have taken from the marks on the Cases, which are entire as they were receive from M^r Hale at New York — they were never opened here, and unfortunately I have mislaid the Invoice of these Cases, and [undecipherable] able to determine the quantity any other way than by the mark as mentioned before, which I expect will prove to be the true quan[tity] — if it should not appear so when I find the Invoices, I will inform you — I will thank you to inform me by some Opportunity of the Bills & the Blankets that were sent on by Michael [undecipherable] and were detained by him nine weeks on the Roads — [undecipherable] M^r Hodgdon & the Army before they marched into the Indian Country — Boyer is returned, and brings no Accounts of any of the transactions with the Western Country — We have received no Letters from M^r Hodgdon since 18 September — M^rs [undecipherable] writes by every Post, and is very anxious to hear from him — you will therefore much Oblige her & me if you hear from him to inform us by the Post, as there is no expence by that conveyance — I have not written to him for three Posts past, as it is uncertain whether he would receive the Letters before the Army returns to Fort Washington — Benjamin Hunt is not yet arrived with the Door for M^r Patterson — I am Sir your mo: Ob: Servant William Knox [Major Craig]
