Title
$5000 Drawn by Captain Harrison
Description
Captain William Harrison, the Quartermaster at Fort Washington, has drawn on Hodgdon seven bills--for a total of $5000--to furnish his department with money during General Wilkinson's descent down the river. He is unable to ascertain the date of the bills nor the names for whom they are drawn since the spaces for names are left blank. Still Hodgdon should pay the bills as they are presented and charge them to Wilkins' account.
