Pittsburgh 13th September 1793

Sir

                             Your letter to the 35t[h] Ultimo and 9th Instant

are both Received, but I have so engaged, that I have not had one Moment to Acknowledge Them, I am Extremely Sorry for the Affective State of your Family. I hope however your disease has abated, and that Mr Hodgdon and you are out of danger. I have enclosed you a Copy of your former Letter. I shall attend to your directions particu- larly, but this Repacking and Smoaking is a dreadful piece of Business, from what has been Opened, I Conceive it altogether unneccessary. — Neither the China nor the Sugar are yet Come to hand I am told that [ ] the Waggoner, by whom you sent the China left his load at Harrisburg, and returned to Philadelphia and [Pimbrells] no. [1] and [ ] [ ] not yet come to hand a part of the [ ] Sub Legion Cloathing is still on the way. Some of these Waggoners ought to be punished, for Example to others ——

                                        I am Sir
                                                 your most Obedt
     Samuel Hodgdon Esqr                              Humble Servt

     Philadelphia                                             Isaac Craig
