Alexander Hamilton Papers

To Alexander Hamilton from Samuel Hodgdon, 8 January 1800

From Samuel Hodgdon, 8 January 1800

Philadelphia, 8th. January, 1800.

Sir,

Last evening I received your letter of the 3d. instant. The embarrassments and delay consequent on our not being able to procure suitable white Cloth for Overalls is I trust well Known to you. When all expectation of obtaining it was at an end, and the season pressed an immediate supply, Coloured ones were ordered; and those were on the way when Colonel Read wrote his letter of information to you—they must have been with him shortly after.

With respect and esteem, I am, Sir, Your most obedient Servant,

Samuel Hodgdon

Major General Alexr. Hamilton—
