Pay of Morrow & His Men

Morrow inquires about the pay of himself and his men. He had asked Capt. O'Hara about same but O'Hara had nothing for him because there is something in the articles that he does not understand. Morrow therefore asks Hodgdon because winter is coming and the men are much in need of their pay, rations, and provisions.
