Title
Defray Cass's Expenses
Description
Cass was ordered from New Hampshire to Philadelphia to settle his recruiting accounts and join the army of Major General Wayne. Because of the [smallpox] contagion in Philadelphia which made the city unsafe, he travelled on to Pittsburgh. He asks Hodgdon if the public would defray some of the expenses of transporting three trunks, a barrel and four bails which contain his baggage to Pittsburgh.
