I am Sir, Major John Hunt, your most Obedient Servant J. Halgden. Sir Philadelphia 25 Feb^y 1798. Yesterday two waggoners by the names of Wolf and Beard left this city with their waggons loaded to your address containing a number of Articles for the Indian Treaty with the Cherokee Indians, and also the papers and papers necessary for carrying the law relative to Stamps into full execution in the State of Tennessee. I have furnished each of them with two hundred and twenty five Dollars to enable them to proceed, if from any unforseen circumstances the sums should prove insufficient, you will please to make them a further advance, and it shall be placed to your Credit in my Books. If there is any public forage on hand at the time of their arrival, you will please to commit it to them on their return loads, as in that way it will be transported for a much less expence — I am Sir, David Henley, your most Obedient Servant Knoxville. Samuel Halgden.
