Stevens agreeably to your direction— the small quantum of Clothing I had on hand previous to receiving that from Oxford, I have packed up & shall send all on together— I hope it meets your approbation— I am Sir most respectfully Yr Obedient Servant Joseph Williams Sam^l Hodgdon Esq^r [Left margin notation: Received / [undecipherable] / R.P.C.
