Pittsburg 2d October 1793.
Sir
I have received your letter of the 25th Instant enclosing eighteen Post Notes of One hundred Dollars each for the use of Quarter Masters Department.
Upon examining the Original Invoice delivered Mathias Slough in Philadelphia I find there are no more than 120. — (3 points) Blankets mentioned in the Invoice agreeably to my receipt of the 29th of May last. — The Stockings forwarded by John Ridebach were received, & the mistake must have arisen in Copying the Receipt from the Invoice.
On yesterday I shipped for Fort Washington on board two Kentucky Boats & one Keel Boat, (by the direction of Major Craig) all the Cloathing that has been received since the 16th of August last, together with sundry Articles of Quarter Masters Stores &c and as the water is in an excellent State, & they are forwarded in charge of careful hands, Have no doubt of their reaching their destination in safety and in due time.
I am very respectfully
Your Ob. Servt
Samuel Hodydon Esq [undecipherable: Clark?]
Philadelphia [May Craig is gone to Resign &c]
