Hodgdon discusses political matters with Major Craig
Description
Samuel Hodgdon tells Major Craig that he will attend to the contents of his letter as early as possible, it having been mislaid by his messenger wife. Hodgon notes that the Department is up in arms and in confusion at present. Part of the public offices are gone and the remainder are packing up and that the politics of the day are "unfathomable." Hodgdon sends his respects to Col Hamtramck and will send him a pair of spectacles.
