Dear Sir.
I am endeavouring to collect the necessary information respecting the Irregularities that have taken place in this town in order that I may secure the Offenders before I proceed to the Westward with the Militia
I find that the military Stores said to have been expected from Col. Hodgden are not arrived. the Jersey & City Militia may probably be here to morrow. I mean the Cavalry.
Apprehensive that some inconve[nience] might arise from a disappointment in this particular, I have taken the liberty to suggest the circumstance that if any difficulty has occurred it may be obviated.
I just now saw a person who left Pittsburgh last Friday. [strikethrough: —] he says he saw no appearance of any Militia embodying, & does not think it likely that any opposition by force of Arms is contemplated. he did not however speak positively on this point nor do I know the degree [undecipherable] of Credit to which he is entitled —
I am
With much respect
Your Servt
