Written from the "War Office," likely located in New York City during this period. Has received another letter from Mr [Samuel] Hodgdon "on the subject of money for the waggoners," so applied to Mr [Samuel] Osgood, who suggested they apply to the loan officer in Pennsylvania. He did this and is waiting to hear from him by the next post. Also has sent along the newspaper, and says that there is no other new business at the office.
