Pittsburg March 30.th 1798

Sir,

Your letters of the 20.th and 23d instant, accompanied by the News [illegible], are received: but the Invoices of Hamilton's loading said by yours of the 20.th to have been enclosed has not come to hand. [illegible/ It appears] it has been omitted on closing your letter. I shall make immediate appreciation to Clinton for the cloathing left in his charge by Captain Uriah Springer. In my last frequented you to make another appreciation for the original of an account of which you sent me a copy, since the duplicate of that account is found. I am therefore sorry to have given you so much unnecesary trouble in that [illegible]. I am not yet able to inform you in what time the thick carpenters will complete the two gallies but have some reason to apprehend that it will not be before the first of October next.

I shall transmit you a receipt for the loading + charge of Daniel Fisher immediately after its delivery. An assortment of [illegible] is much wanted.

I am, Sir, Your most obedient Humble Servant [signature] Samuel Hodgdon Esquire Philadelphia
