War department October 10. 1794 Sir I do not know which of the articles are first wanted — I presume however the Boots and Overalls — But for gods sake send them all in the course of the day [strikethrough: and] if you hire Coaches for that purpose or even Coaches — the expense of the transportation is not to be compared to the injury of delay. Let all the Articles I mentioned go. M^r Francis will not be ready till tomorrow or next day. The Presidents waggon to be ready in the morning. I should like a light one with four horses to go at the rate of forty Miles a day for this and the Clothing — if possible Your sincerely H Knox Sam^d. Hodgdon Esq^r
