Pittsburg 1st March 1793 —
Sir
I have Rec'd Your favour of the 16th Ultimo by last Post but was then so hurried had not time to Acknowledge it —
Hamilton the Waggoner is not yet Arrived but Shortly expected — Doctor Carmichael Colo Nevill, Fisher & Mr. Woods Arrived the day before Yesterday with the money I believe all Safe, & Yesterday the Doctor Embarked with his Charge & set off for Legion Ville — Mr. Fisher waits here A few days to Refresh his Horses —
Your Small Box sent here by Mr. Harris I forwarded by Wm. Thiley Waggoner on the 2d Ultimo I suppose it must have Reached You before this Time, his Receipts is herewith Enclosed —
Colo Nevill in the hurrey of Business or Prehaps Pleasure forgot to Purchase A Sett of Tea Table China for Mrs. Craig. She therefore begs of You when You have A Spare Hour on hand to Step to A China Shop & make choice of A Sett for her & direct them to be well Packed up & sent forward the first Safe Conveyance that offers —
You Observe that the Committee of Congress have made an other Strange Report, I Should expect that the Same Men perhaps full of their former Prejudices would come as near their former Report as Possible, but certainly if this Business ever Obtains an Impartial Investigation before Congress it must Wear a different Aspect but my Dear Friend I begin to Suspect that, fair Play is not intended, however this is only matter of Opinion & in Confidence. & I most Sincerely Pray that the Strictest Justice may be done, the Saddle put on the Right Horse —
I am Sir
