15 August 1796
Hodgdon, Samuel, 1745-1824
Autograph letter signed
Title: to Henry Knox
Brief note by Hodgdon added on the last page, beside the address. Relates that a ship sailed for Thomaston yesterday, helmed by Captain Mathews, which carried a variety of goods being shipped to Knox, including Madeira wine, flour, and dining tables. Apparently also mentions that a little boy is being carried by the ship, along with items for his mother (the identity of the boy is unclear).
