Sir,
I have received your letter of yesterday's date; Enclosed I send you an Account of Cavalry equipments, forwarded to the Address of Major Harbersham, in Georgia, but for whose use I am not informed — suppose however, they are those alluded to in your Letter. — the prices are inserted, from which an Account may be stated.
A quantity of Cloathing was forwarded at the same time, but it forms not, to make part of the enquiry.
Your most Obed. Servant
Samuel Hodgdon
