Philadelphia 1^st Octo^br 1800 Sir— Last evening I was favoured with your letter of the 10 instant. Notice what you say relative to Captain Turner's account. The Quarter Master General I am informed is on his way for Pittsburgh, that the General is expected here before he takes his pace that way. The Secretary of War is expected in town to day and the President says. The Secretary of the Treasury passed through on his way to Connecticut on Tuesday last. I hope you Election will turn out better than ours has done— yet under circumstances it was impossible for us to do more. If you had got the Members [?] in gross all would have been satisfied. I informed you before that it is unnecessary to send Returns to the War Office as it only gives them the trouble to send them to me. Your very Sincerely Samuel Hodgdon [left margin, rotated:] Major Isaac Craig —
