Hodgdon informs Secretary of War Knox that he wrote Knox yesterday (GLC02437.04760). Since that time, however, Hodgdon has learned that "Mr. Mead has taken Mr. Hunters rooms for his friend in New York." Instead, Hodgdon will now "engage Mrs. Buddens house with the furniture as it stands agreeably to a lender." Hodgdon will also make space in an office for Knox and his papers.

Knox, Henry, 1750-1806
