Philadelphia, 2.^d May 1788. Sir, By your Return I find you have ten four pounders from Guns at your Post. Will thank you to inform me Whether they are uniform in length and weight, and will answer for Ship use; also, Whether they have carriages with them that will answer the same purpose. If not, and you suppose the Guns may be more to answer, please to send me the dimensions of them that I may have carriages made here and ready for them by the time they can be got round — Let me hear from you on the subject as soon as possible — I am, Sir, your most Obedient Servant, Samuel Hodgdon. Major George Fleming, West Point. Philadelphia 2.^nd May 1788 Sir, The Clothing & Military Stores which answer to the enclosed Invoice are forwarded to your address for the purpose of getting them out to Kinseys Boats at Brunswick. By the first conveyance that can be procured after you receive them they will be forwarded, they have already been obliged waiting for transportation to you. Will thank you to send me your account for the supplies you have heretofore furnished for my own private consumption. Let me know when the Stores arrive with you and are forwarded to Brunswick. From Sir Your most Ob.^t Servant Samuel Hodgdon. Major Silas Howard.
