in your letter as wanting repairs, can be done as cheap &
with as much dispatch at Trenton as here, I wish you to put
them into hand for that purpose immediately, or in case
the repairs cannot there be effected you had better send
them down in the Vessel that takes up the Stores, that
they may be done here.
I am Sir
Your most obedient Servant

Philadelphia, 27th August, 1799
Sir,
Yesterday I wrote a letter to the Quarter
Master General informing him that sundry packages of Clothing
for the Army was ready for transportation to their respective de-
stinations, and as the Store is about closing I requested to
attend to the business immediately. I hope it is done, as I
have made the Secretary of War and General Hamilton acquain-
ted with the subject, and they will of course expect soon to
hear of its arrival. I enclose a note for payment — will
thank you to send me a check before any movement takes
place at the Bank, or enclose me notes for the amount —
The necessary receipt shall be signed when presented.
I am, Sir,
Your most obedient Servant —
Samuel Hodgdon
Mr James Miller —
