I shall pay the necessary attention to the Cloathing [strikethrough: when] the waggon arrives the horse delivered by M^r Stewart I am apprehensive will not be able to return this winter, I hope the team coming forward will be in better order.

I have now in the most earnest manner to request you not to neglect a remittance by the return of the Post, a draft of late O'Hara's on me for six hundred & fifty Dollars has this moment been presented, in consequence of which I have drawn on you in favor of Isaac Gregg Merch^t of this place for five hundred Dollars payable at ten days sight that sum be pleased to pay & charge as usual Sam^l Hodgdon Esq Philadelphia I am with great esteem your ob^t Servant Isaac Craig
