Philadelphia 1^st August 1799 Sir, As my disbursements on public Account are nearly at an end, I feel anxious to have all my public Accounts adjusted. Those in the Military Department are of importance to enable me to bring all to a close. They are I trust methodically arranged & the Vouchers unquestionable. You will greatly oblige me by making an early report on them; I hope I shall not trouble you after the present quarter, within it I hope to have all my advances taken up by full settlements. With sentiments of esteem I am Sir, Your most ob't Servant W^m Simmons Esq^t Samuel Hodgdon Sir, Philadelphia. 2^d Aug: 1799 — I have received your letter of the 26: ulto. I perceive the use the Waggoner means to make of the Invoice — on settlement he was allowed the same as others that [undecipherable] at the time, which was five Dollars only a hundred — the Invoice calls for a further allowance; I shall [undecipherable] notice it — I return the Invoice — The Jew has entirely disappeared, not a case of it or any thing like it is to be found in the City — At the instance of my friends from our quarters I had made up my mind to decamp if it had generally prevailed — I am delighted to find the Crops your way are also abundant — all will be well with our beloved Country infidelity notwithstanding — adieu — your most obedient Servant, Samuel Hodgdon — Major Isaac Craig. — Philadelphia. 2^d Aug: 1799 — Sir, I have received your letter of the 26: Ulto. this morning — I believe there is yet one of the notes you mention outstanding, tho' I have heard nothing of it lately — Governor Sugars has obtained leave of absence to visit his eastern princes, and is reported here shortly on his way to Boston, at which time it is certain the business will be attended to — I have heard nothing from him on the subject — I would just hint that no accident to him would affect you in the manner you apprehend — He has a handsome property — a considerable part of which is in my hands — I will remind Col. Williams of the wine, and have it procured and forwarded — I am Sir, your most Obedient Servant Samuel Hodgdon — Capt. Edw^d D. Turner.
