Sir Pittsburg 28 March 93 Your letter of the 19^th Instant, inclosing Three thousand Dollars, Accompanied by another letter, enclosing Statements of Accounts marked **A B, C & D** are received together with a letter & Packets addressed to the [undecipherable] M^r [undecipherable] Col^o W. Serjeant & Doc^tr Brown &c. to all of which the necessary Attention shall be paid. The Cash now received amounts to a very small supply, having already borrowed more than that sum for the necessary supplys of the Dep^tm^t. which I have now to refund. I shall make immediate enquiry respecting the manufactory & procuring the Articles you mention & give you full information in a few days. Very good bandage is made at this place & at Redstone at One Shilling [undecipherable] but as the demand for that article has got [undecipherable] no further than [undecipherable] for Boots, Last, Rope, Matting &c. I am apprehensive it has not amounted to an encouragement to raise a sufficient Quantity of Hemp; this However I shall ascertain — For it is at 9/ & 9/6 P^r [undecipherable] allow any quantity can be procured, Phlps Blocks require [undecipherable] Vita, Sheeves & Pins which are not to be got here, therefore I presume the article must be sent & perhaps a Black maker as there is no Mechanics at this place for [undecipherable] that business in all its branches. Herewith you will find inclosed a return of Provisions received forwarded & on hand, The [undecipherable] are to commence on the first day of April, Returns will afterwards be made monthly, please to [undecipherable] only [undecipherable] you may observe in this return & it shall be attended to on the next. The Quarter M^r General is arrived & will set off for your City on Thursday or Friday next. I lament both [undecipherable] as considerable [undecipherable] in Compensating Public Services, the Expenditures in the Q^r M^r Dep^t of the Army under the command of General Morgan [undecipherable] in six Months [undecipherable] amt to Fifty thousand Dollars on which Jno Wilkins & Co [undecipherable] [undecipherable] that branch are to receive [undecipherable] [Sam^l Hodgdon Esq. Phila.] Iam D^r with resp^t y^r Ob Ser^t Isaac Craig
