Williamson, the Deputy Paymaster General in this district. The Situation of the troops to which he alludes, is extremely uncomfortable, and I cannot but regret that no notice should have been taken of an application made so long since as the first of April — You will give information without delay whether there is a supply of Cloathing on hand, and if not, what measures have been taken for the [strikethrough: purpose] of procuring one. With consideration S. Hodgson Esq^r — [undecipherable: probable reading A. Hamilton]
