Philadelphia 3^d February 1798 Sir, To pay my acceptances on the Quarter Master Generals and by the payment of several Accounts in his Department, Drafts, I request a Warrant in his favour for, four thousand, seven hundred and forty two Dollars &²³/100. As the power of Attorney is now in the hands of the Comptroller, I expect the Warrant will issue as above requested. With respect & esteem I am Sir your most Ob^t Servant, Dols 4742. ²³/100 Samuel Hodgdon James McHenry Esq^r Philadelphia 8^d February 1791. Sir This day James Hamilton Waggon leaves this City for Pittsburgh laden with the articles inserted in the enclosed Invoice. It was at first thought best to address the Goods to Fort Stayac to be forwarded from thence, but it struck me that you may have other Stores for these Parts, and that the whole might go through together without being subject to any detention. And accordingly wish you to mark them answering to the Invoices I send them forward as soon as possible as it is of importance that they get speedily to hand. You will please to write to each of the Commanding Officers, when you forward the Goods and enclose the invoices now sent to you, as they may be of use in making the distribution. Hamilton has the other invoices with him as usual. On examination it is found your disbursements are adjusted as are all others alike circumstanced to the 30^th June 1796 inclusive and placed to the credit of Col Ottawa all subsequent will be credited to the present Quarter Master General. The Comptroller will I expect write you on the Subject. I am Sir, Your m^o Ob^t Servant, Samuel Hodgdon Major P. Craig. The following Postscript was added to the above. I have added Copies of all the Invoices of Goods forwarded by Hamilton. General Wilkinsons Wine is in another Waggon that goes on to day under Hamiltons care, the other part of the load is for the public. I also sent you a Statement of Hamiltons Account, for his last Load, that you may adjust and pay it on the spot: which I think the best mode under circumstances. I have accordingly carried the advances made him say 362 Dollars to your debit, of course you will take his receipt in full. Samuel Hodgdon Major Craig.
