Dear Sir I have received your Letter of the 5 & 13^th instant the former by the Hands of Charles Anderson the latter by Post— I am Sorry your application at the Treasury for a supply of Cash was inaffectual,— without that very necessary article, public business Cannot be carried on to advantage, I am mortified that my information respecting the money in the hands of Gen^l Neville was too late. The whole of the Articles mentioned in the extract of the Q^r M^r Gen^l's letter are by his orders to be provided by me & I have Already made Arrangements for that purpose, it is however probable that I shall draw on you in Payment of fourteen Tons of Iron.— I have taken measures to bring the Arms & Stores from Greenesburg I was greatly deceived on my first enquiry at that place. Pray dont neglect the sell of Books requested in a former Letter. I am anxious to know the compensations intended for Services in the Commissary Department; I have already forwarded the necessary supplies to the posts dependant on Pittsburg deposit; the issues commence on the 1^st day of April for which I have made the Necessary arrangements. I am with great respect Sir, Your Obedient Hum^l Servant— — Isaac Craig Samuel Hodgden Esquire Philadelphia
