Philadelphia 28^th March 1800 Your letter of the 28 is before me — the Quarter Master General seems disposed to admit the armourers accounts — but you do not inform me who is to receive them — I recommended to him, if he find finally determines to adjust them, to direct his Agent here to take them off — they surely ought to be returned to you, or handed to him — I shall hold them till called for by one or the other — I am fearful I shall wait unreasonably long for the balance due me, if it is to arise out of your claim — I have full confidence that you will at last be satisfactorily compensated but do not think it will soon happen — Military Lands at present would not sell for as much as the par ants cost — so says M^cM^cConnell — Brophy says he has been sold for [underline: 10,000] Dollars — Sir — Your Most Obedient Servant Samuel Hodgson Major Isaac Craig
