Sought-after unsigned note written in the hand of Alexander Hamilton as secretary of the treasury, one page, 6 x 7.75, September 24, 1794. In full: "Mr. Hodgson will please to furnish me with a return of all articles in Cloathing remaining in Store—to day if possible." Affixed along its left edge to a slightly larger sheet. In fine condition, with light show-through from docketing on the reverse. Samuel Hodgson (1745–1824) was commissioned superintendent of military stores in April 1794, and served until Thomas Jefferson's election in 1800. On September 19, 1794, Hamilton issued a request to President Washington asking permission to send military to western Pennsylvania as a means of quelling the Whiskey Rebellion. The clothing referenced in this note were thus intended for the militia soon to head to the state's southwestern revolts.
