[D Rec O October 9^th 1794] Sir, I am under a positive promise to furnish the contractors for swords with patterns similar to those exhibited to them. I have therefore to request the favor of your directing patterns to be made corresponding in your judgment with the patterns exhibited, which certainly ought to remain in your Office. I hope you have received the artillery coat from N York which I sent to you yesterday. I am, Sir, Y^r Mo. O Serv. S. Hodgdon Esq^r Sec^y Signed T. Coxe C.R.
