Philadelphia 8 January 1799
Sir,
I have received your letter of the 25 Nov.
I was glad to find your navigation is again free
and that the Pays for the Loan Bots are generally
forwarded — I have not time by this Post to send
you the Duplicate Invoice, but will embrace the
next opportunity that presents to enclose it to you.
Ensign Cooks letter shall be carefully sent as
he directs — Nothing particularly new — Adieu —
I am,
Sir,
Your Most Obedient Servant
Samuel Hodgdon
[Be pleased to inform
Mr Day I have received
his letter and will reply to
it shortly]
