Sir,
By order of the Secretary of ***** I send to your address via New York & Albany the Articles of Clothing inserted in the enclosed Invoice. I am fearful the Season is too far advanced to admit their getting speedily to hand, but I have made every exertion in my power since the clothing has been received to effect it, and I hope my fears will not be well founded or realized. I will thank you to inform me when you receive them and the order in which they get to hand - being packed in tight Casks I have aright to expect they will get safely to hand.
I am
Sir
Your Most Obedient Servant
Samuel Hodgdon
Officer Commanding at Niagara
