Pittsburg 10th October 1800
Sir,
Your favor of the 3 instant is the moment come to hand enclosing the clothing Vouchers sent to you formerly inadvertently
I had not forgot your account against Capt Turner and shall shortly have an opportunity of obtaining payment of him -
Neither the General nor Q.M. gen yet arrived - the troops continue in their encampment - no orders yet, either for going into Garrison or Cantonment -
We apprehend that our approaching election will be attended with considerable warmth. Parties appear nearly equal and determined -
I have this day transmitted to the Secretary of War a return of Ordinance Stores and clothing & by next post shall transmit a similar return to you accompanied by Abstracts and Vouchers.
I am Sir you obedient Servant
PS Capt Turner wishes to be informed whether you know any thing of a small box brought by one Doct Howson from London to New York, & to be forwarded to your care - he says you sent him six weeks since the letter brought by said Doct H. -
