War department June 1. 1793 [No. 18] Sir, I have received your letter of the 24 Ultimo.^th M^r Hodgdon agent of the Quarter Master General has paid your bill for eleven hundred and four dollars and he will write you fully upon the subject of your future drafts. The very defective manner in which the Quarter Master General has left his business requires a serious explanation from him. If by necessity you are constrained to make further drafts they must be preceded at least as post by a precise estimate for each object of expenditure — I am Sir Your humble Servant — [signature] Major Isaac Craig —
