Sir
I have examined Major Craig's Invoice of Military Stores and Quarter Master Stores, said to be deficient of those forwarded from hence to Pittsburg.
After what has passed on that subject, I am happy in having it in my power, by authentic documents to state that no censure is due to any of the persons engaged in the business of preparing or transporting the Public Stores to their several destinations, but on the Contrary an unusual accuracy is discovered by the examination, the Errors being few and trifling.
Stever, alone appears to be tardy, and he will be refused any further employ by way of punishment.
With respect, &c
I am Sir,
(Signed) Samuel Hodgdon
