Dear Sir, Some time since I rec^d by William Hammilton some Public Clothing for w^h I pass'd my rec^t there were no Vests, perhaps you had none on hand at the time. The weather is setting in cold, if you have any woollen Overhalls & Vests, I will take it as a perticular favor if you will forward me some by the bearer of this scrawl, I have now fifty recruits— Sam^l Hodgdon Esq^r — Yours sincerely C. Irvene. [undecipherable: Captn?]
