Philad: 16 Aug 1799— Sir I have received your letter of the 15. instant. The articles of Clothing in your Return for Reading except the Coats & [undecipherable: probable reading Hats] will be sent from hence immediately. The apology for the mistake is abundantly satisfactory. The returns you mention we can only receive— I wish you would make out a Return of every species of supplies that may be requisite to issue under your immediate direction— for though it is not contemplated to make a great deposite with you, yet such articles as are essential for the supply of the Troops &c. present on your post ought to be there.— I am Sir, your most obedient Servant. Samuel Hodgdon C. Ebeneza Stevens. Philad: 16 Aug: 1799. Sir, Your favours of the 9^th instant covering a draft on James Muir for one hundred and fifty Dollars came to hand this morning.
