Philadelphia 2 May 1800 Sir This morning I received your favour of the 25^th ultimo — The accompanying Documents will command my first attention after I have furnished what I have on hand for Congress — I am fully of your opinion that One Assistant at Pittsburgh is abundantly sufficient — more will only confuse the business. I wrote you on the 18^th ultimo by Post, what has become of my letter I am yet to learn — I wrote you again on the 25^th which I hope and expect you have received — Congress rises on the 12 instant — the next is to provide for our removal — a disagreeable business truly — M^r Enoch Francis late State Surveyor died last evening — I am Sir, your Most Obedient Servant Samuel Hodgdon Major Isaac Craig [address panel: 20; Major Isaac Craig / Pittsburgh; [circular postmark seal]; docketed upper right: Sam^l Hodgdon / 2^d May 1800]
