Sir, S D R o Q      October 8^th 1794 The contractor for supplying 3000 blankets at New York (M^r Reilly) having delivered to you nearly two thirds thereof, you will be pleased to inform me whether it is your opinion that the remainder are now so far necessary as to require that they should be received and ordered to Philadelphia? seeing that they are variant from the standard sample? You are apprized that this is alledged by the contractors to be oweing to the season of Importation not having come on when the goods were procured —. If these blankets are wanted for the militia army, the utmost dispatch is to be desired — I am Sir, y^r m^o ob^t Servant Sam^l Hodgson Esq^t      Signed J. Knox      [C R —]
