Martin's receipt for the Box shou'd be answer'd— the Subject shou'd go forward soon. I am Sir, your most Obedient Servant, Samuel Hodgdon— Majr Isaac Craig— Philadelphia, 9 February 1793. Sir, I have received your letter of the 3^d instant— am sorry the weather shou have lessen'd your humanity as a man, or your favor as an officer, but the severity of the season being the sole reason, why you have not received the mens Cloathing; you must endeavour to compose yourself.— The Cloathing is yet lying onboard the vessel, and ice bound— the circumstance is painful to myself— I have maintained the propriety of a larger supply, and have reason to believe the secretary will order it— of this you shou'd be advised.— yours— Samuel Hodgdon. Capt. Staats Morris.— Philad: 9 February 1793 Sir, Since the 20^th fifteen suits of Cloathing with Knapsacks, Canteens &c. have been packed, are ready for an Oppy to get them up the river to Trenton. to the care [undecipherable] who is to forward them to you— The severity of the season has again impeded the navigation, and may probably detain them [some] time longer. Wish to know whether there is a pressing necessity for giving them on immediately. If there is, I must go to the expence of land transportation all the way. Tho' I shou'd wait till the river communication is open.— I am &c. Sa S. Hodgdon— S. Horatio Dayton.—
