[Docket: Coml [undecipherable] Williams / 30 Jun 1800 / Ab[?] 24^th July — / [undecipherable] [undecipherable] — / to hand —] Samuel Hodgdon Esq^r [undecipherable] Stores Philadelphia [Received from State Dep^t Nov. 24, [18?] R.O. 401810.] Springfield Jun 30^th 1800. Sir, Your letter of the 26^th inst. enclosing One thousand Dollars in Post Notes on account of the Armory was received this day by the Post direct from Southard — Your letter of notice therein referred to supposed date 24. has not come to hand. I presume this will reach me by the Mail from Boston, in manner of yours of the 18^th which was rec^d last Saturday. How is it after all your assiduity — the irregularity in some measure continues — Is not the fault in the P. Office at Philadelphia by placing the Letters in wrong bundls — or giving them wrong directions — It is some consolation however, that the one thing needfull [underline: Cash] comes direct. I hope no difficulty will [strikethrough: happen] from these remittances. I am respectfully your Ob^t Servant Samuel Hodgdon Esq^r Joseph Williams
