Asks for a payroll of the men under Bryant who have not been paid and to note their pay masters and which corps they belonged to. Notes that Bryant's pay needs to be stated in an account and the sums received credited. Says the iron and stores can be sold as Bryant sees fit but he is to leave the substance and wood demand alone until Hodgdon arrives in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Discusses steel missing from a shipment, believes it was likely stolen and inquiry needs to be conducted. Informs Bryant that Mr. [Henry] Knox will not be returning to Springfield, Massachusetts and he needs Bryant to forward [him?] the securities he has on hand.
