5From George Washington to Peter Hog, 28 October 1755 (Washington Papers)
I received yours of the 6th of October, inclosing the Returns of your Company, only this day. Ferguson was sent after you, but falling ill, by a Sore on his arm, was ordered to halt here, where he now remains unfit for Duty: therefore I have sent in his room. Sergeant Wilper has received from Fort Cumberland and this place, Arms and Clothing to complete your Company to the Establishment. He...
6From George Washington to Peter Hog, 28 November 1755 (Washington Papers)
I am sorry to find by your Returns, that the men are deserting; and fear you do not take proper means to prevent it. The last account I had from you was of the 3d instant; mentions your not having received the Salt, Iron, &c. which surprizes me greatly; Major Lewis having ordered it up sometime ago: and by Mr Dicks accompt, I stand charged with the several articles. However, I have repeated my...

By the new Appointment and Regulations, you stand as eldest Captain in the Virginia Regiment; which I hope will be agreeable: I have therefore sent you your Commission, and orders to Relieve Captain Lewis; which I expect will be immediately complied with, his presence at Fredericksburgh being much wanted. As these kind of Orders will admit of no Delay; I must again repeat, that I expect your...
8From George Washington to Peter Hog, 26 January 1757 (Washington Papers)
Yours from Staunton of the 1st instant I have received. I am sorry you did not make a final settlement of your accompts, as it was for that purpose I appointed the meeting. As I do not meddle with any accompts or vouchers relative to provision, you must still settle that matter with the Commissary in the best manner you can, as it was prevented before, and draw upon him for money. At present I...

10From George Washington to Peter Hog, 8 September 1756 (Washington Papers)
By Captain McNiel I received only a part of yours, dated the 31st July; what became of the remainder, you perhaps know best, and from what I received am little satisfied in point of your recruiting charge. The same objection prevails, that you charge subsistance for these men, from their enlisting until their arrival at Augusta Court-House, altho’ they were furnished here with provisions to...
