Pittsburg 5th July 1799 —
Sir
I have received Your Letter of the 28th Ultimo together with A Return of Clothing said to be on the Road to this Place.
I expected by this Post A further Supply of Cloaths to have enabled me to have discharged the Claims against the Qu. M. Departmt up to the first of this Month. I feel very uneasy in my Present Situation having agreeable to instructions of the Q.M. Gen.l made considerable Purchase of Forage Horses Waggons Boats Iron &c, for all of which I am Accountable — The Q.M.Ga Promised to Establish funds for me in Philadelphia, but this has not been done, his letters may have Miscarried or some Accident may have happened to prevent him, I have no doubt as to the Sincerity of his intention —
Be Pleased to take the trouble of Sending me about 100ths Loaf Sugar, Mrs Craig concludes that the last Ships from India have not brought any China with them —
I am Sir your
Most Humble
Obedient Servant
