Sam. Hodgdon Esq. Accountant's Office Philad. September 10th 1800

Sir

                           Your letter of the 6th I have received [+] 

have examined the accounts of salary to which you have had allusion. It is as I stated before that payment was made to the amount of the appropriations that no further sum could be paid by me. - The salary of Ripby I do not find included in either of the accounts, but it will be in a similar salutation with the sums deducted from the account to the 31st Dec. 1796, - as there are no appropriations in additional to what you have received.

                                                                                          Sam [D.]
                                                                                                W.S.

to hand for your better government I give you the following copy, "I rec[?] yours of the 26th [ ] this day, in reply have only to observe that if you cannot fully conform[] to the instructions [forms], required in my letter to you of the 18 March last, to which I again refer you. I
