War Office May 13th 1795 Hodgdon Sir The articles to be issued from the public stores for the Frigate building at Philadelphia will be so numerous as to render it inconvenient and a loss of time for the Constructor to apply to the War Office for a Special Order in every case. You will therefore deliver such articles immediately on the orders of Mr. Humphreys the Constructor.
