Philadelphia 14^th February 1792 Gentlemen, I have received your Note, as no Account can be passed unless vouched or attested, I think the former mode of stating your Accounts for the inspection of the Clothing the best To prevent a repetition of the difficulties you have experienced I recommend the keeping a memorandum Book in the Store in which you may enter every day you are respectively engaged. This mode will obviate every inconvenience. the other mentioned in your Note is objectionable. I am Gent your mo: ob^t Servant, Mess^rs Statte & Ewing. Samuel Hodgdon
