Return and an Assurance of Due Diligence
Description
Enclosed in the letter is a return of the stores on hand and those delivered, including overalls, coats and blankets for two sick soldiers as well as medicine; the second paragraph of the letter addresses Hodgdon's displeasure with Parker's failure to send a return previously. Parker contends that he handed the letter with the return to a driver and that when he comes to Philadelphia he will prove he has been diligent in his duty.
