Pittsburgh 25^th July 1800 Sir Your favour of the 15^th instant is before me. I shall call upon Cap^t Turner for Payment of the Groceries furnished by You. I don't recollect Your sending me his Account and am confident that had it come to hand, it would have been settled — M^r Tracey is here indisposed & unable to proceed on his way to Detroit. he says the Excessive heat of the Weather during his Journey has brought on a Bilious Complaint. which has detained him here. he is however in very Comfortable Quarters & Expects to be well in a few days. Yesterday at 4 o'clock P.M. the Mercury Stood at 91 degrees & I presume this day may be as hot — Should Col^o O'Hara be with You pleas to tell him that Six Glazier's Diamonds are immediately wanted but should he have left the City be Kind Enough to purchase & send by Post or otherwise that Number. Elliot in Front Street is said to import the best of such articles they I presume will cost five Dollars Each — [turn over] M^r Tracey intimates that it is probable M^r Simmons will not Continue Long in Office as M^r Dexter is determined to be Secretary of War himself — I am Sir your obedient Servant Isaac Craig Sam^l Hodgdon Esq^r Philad^a
