Philadelphia 18th August 1798
Sir.
I have made enquiry relative to the colours for General Washington. Mr. Rutter has finished one of them under the direction of Mr. Bleakley, but the other he has no device for, & Mr. Bleakley is out of town. Until I am informed on this subject nothing further can be done. Who is to pay Mr. Rutter for the Painting, he already calls for money in advance. Report of the Committee for the last 24 hours, stands, Six received into the Hospital & Six dead. I hear of no new case in the City.
Respectfully yours
Samuel Hodgdon
James McHenry Esqr.
