Samuel Hodgdon letter 22 Dec 1798

                                                                                        Philadelphia 22 Dec 1798
Sir
On examination I find the store is fully supplied with Fort Flags, as many on hand as will probably be called for in the course of the year the dimensions for the largest are 24 by 47 feet the smallest 12 by 27 feet.  Those dimensions suit precisely with the width of the Bunting, and of course save both staff & labour.
                                                                        I am
                                                                        Sir your most ob Ser
                                                                        Samuuel Dodgdon
Tench Francis Esq

Papers of the War Department 1784 to 1800

Papers of the War Department is a project of the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media, George Mason University with funding from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission and the National Endowment for the Humanities.

Fire destroyed the War Department office in 1800. For decades historians believed that its files, and the window they provide into the early federal government, had been lost forever. This collection unites copies of the lost files in a digital archive that reconstitutes this invaluable historical resource.
