Philadelphia. 2^d July 1794. Sir, I am sorry I have again to call on you for payment of the Tent account nothing but a sense of duty would oblige me to press you for the payment of that money. Unless discharged immediately I shall be under the disagreeable necessity of calling on Captain Jones, who stands charged with the Tents — I hope you will make an arrangement to satisfy the demands without a moments delay. your most Obedient Servant, Samuel Hodgdon M^r James Oldden. Philadelphia, 4^th July, 1794. Sir, As the Returns of the Troops in the Garrisons to the Westward and Northward are with you, I have thought it best to Request through you a Return of Cloathing proper to be sent to each, that I may submit it to the Secretary of war, and obtain his order for its delivery and transportation at this best season of the year. The Cloathing concern will be handled in the best manner, and the Packages will be marked for each Post, to prevent any mistake. Should they happen to arrive without their Invoice, perhaps it will be best to send every thing intended for those Posts to Colonel Stevens, the Agent with you for the War Department, with directions to send them by the safest and speediest routes to their respective destinations. Be pleased to give me your opinion on the Subject — With sentiments of respect and esteem, I am Sir your most Obedient Servant — Major General Alexander Hamilton. Samuel Hodgdon.
