Pittsburgh 17^th July 1795 Sir Your letter of the 11^th Instant Enclosing a Bill of Groceries is [strikethrough: receiv'd] before me & for which I am much obliged to you & I have yet to request you to send me a Barrel of Muscovado Sugar, by first convenient Conveyance. [194] A part of the Chicasaw Goods are still on hand. It was the Q. Master Generals Opinion that it would be improper to send them to Fort Washington as there was more frequent Opportunities of sending them directly from this place than from Fort Washington. M^r Anthony Foster informed me that he had directed a Merchant of Nashville to call on me for the Goods some time in October next. All the Goods for the Treaty have been sent forward. I suppose those last sent are at Fort Washington. A few Articles of Q. Master Stores lately arrived & are now on board a boat that I have been Obliged to detain several days, waiting the arrival of General Scott who is to be accomodated with a passage. I have this day drawn on you in favour of William Charity Merchant of this place at Eight days sight for four Hundred Dollars, which be pleased to pay & charge as usual. As the arrival of Colo Bartholomew has opened a large field of Expenditures, I have to beg of you to remit me by next Post Three thousand Dollars to enable me to push on the Prop[undecipherable] Contracts with Spirit. I am with esteem yours Samuel Hodgdon Esq. J. Craig
