I shall
I shall direct Mr. Hodgdon that these and those before delivered to the militia amounting to 500 be replaced.
As Major General St. Clair had not time to arrange which part of fort Pitt should be returned, it must be referred to Major General Butler and Mr. Hodgdon the Quartermaster who will be at the place in a few days. I cannot take any other steps and am persuaded that Messrs Turnbull and Mamie [Marmie] ought to be satisfied with this arrangement. Request Mr. Scull the printer to find me regularly the garette [gazette?]
