[Cover address leaf: "D°"; "Major Isaac Craig / Pittsburg"; [seal]; docket notation upper right: "25^th June 1800"; "Nº 3"] Philadelphia 25 June 1800 I have received your letter of the 20 in- stant. Am glad the Spectacles had safely arriv'd hope they will answer. The Offices are all removed except a Branch of the Treasury which goes off on Monday. Nathan Jones Cheif Clerk in the War Department, has been to the City resigned and re- turned. He says the situation is fine, but no ac- commodation for families, and living very high. M^r Benton another Clerk also stays behind so that all things in the Office will be new. Colo Pickering moves with his family to morrow for Easton. He contemplates a settlement in or near the Great Bend of Susquehanna. Nothing par- ticularly new. In haste — adieu — Your Most Obedient Servant Samuel Hodgdon Major Isaac Craig
