Philadelphia 19^th April 1795 Sir, If the public load at Wilmington is not gone on, I beg you to stay any further [strikethrough: attempts] to get it forwards but let it remain safely until you come here from me. I have three waggons engag'd for transportation to the same place, one of which will go empty from hence, on the purpose of taking in that load in this case you will only have to manage the business of obtaining repayment of the Money advanced to Phelps, as those waggons were to supply with the necessary money by me. — your most Obedient Servant Samuel Hodgdon [Col. I. Smeaton] Trenton 19^th April 1795 Sir, As the waggons now shortly depart for Knoxville — it will be proper more more should be taken as the enclos'd list of articles wanted by that post. It gives it as my opinion that one half of the stationary you be sufficient and a proportion what we have provided to meet such requisitions can order as the Store Keeper is only necessary for the Stationary the other articles must be procured elsewhere — I am, Sir, your most Obedient Servant Samuel Hodgdon James McHenry esq.
