[Received from State Dep't. Nov. 24. 1800. R.P.O. 401310.] D^r Sir George Town 3. July 1800. Your letter favored by M^r Simmons I received yesterday. when he arrived after a journey of One Week. The power you inclosed to me will be filed here Subject to payment when the Accounts come on. and are Settled. I dont find any such accounts have ever been received either here or by The [undecipherable]. In reply to that part of your letter which relates to our accomodation I shall do myself the pleasure to answer verbally when I, arrive in Philad^a. which I expect will be on or about the 8^th of the present month. My intention is to remove my family — I have written to M^r [strikethrough: undecipherable] the Surveyor and requested him to provide means of Transportation for my furniture by that time — May I beg you to urge him on the Subject. As I have taken a House here, and the rent has commenced some time So that I am anxious to remove my family & effects as early as possible — I could not attend to the Subject before M^r Simmons's arrival, and indeed it was impossible for me to leave this place, [strikethrough: undecipherable] [strikethrough: undecipherable] before he arrived here — Very respectfully your [undecipherable] Samuel Hodgdon Esq^r Philad^a
