Samuel Hodgdon Esqr
Sir,
In September 1792, I purchased of John Wall 5,000Bushels of Indian Corn, at the foot of his accounts he says this Corn was delivered to you and Shipd on board three vessels. The Auditor has returnd the Account and says this declaration of Walls is not a Sufficient Voucher. You will therefore be pleased to furnish me with a Bill of Lading or a Copy certified or a Copy Certified of the Receipt of this Corn in Georgia, or an other document that will pass my Account which will oblige.
[your humble servant?]
Tench Francis
P.S. Send me by the Bearer the pattern pistol?
