Philadelphia 19^th April 1798. Sir The Quarter Master Genl by order of the commanding General requests me to send forward to Pittsburg without delay fifty Horsemen and two hundred common Tents and Shel Lien sufficient for two hundred Camp kitts. Say 1200 lbs. but Lien in proportion for valies though not requested should be forwarded. The Tents may be sent with more expedition from Sheppards Town than from any other Deposit and if you approve the measure I will direct him to forward them immediately. the Lien must be purchased and go from hence. I am Sir Your most Obed^t Serv^t Samuel Hodgdon James McHenry Esq^r Philadelphia 4^th April 1794 Sir I am favoured with your letter of the 1^st instant forwarded. I thank you. I have made an arrangement to get the public linen in your keeping of which I informed Mr Anderson in a letter yesterday. Request you to keep it safely until the Waggon comes from thence to take it on which will probably be about the beginning of next week. For your care and trouble I expect to make compensation. Dear Sir Your most Obd^t Servant Samuel Hodgdon M^r Samuel Weimer
