John Hanson to Thomas Sim Lee

Our part of the new money Cant be printed untill the date of the Maryland Law Complying with the requisition of Congress of the 18 March, is made Known to the Board of Treasury. You will therefore be pleased to give them that Information by the next post. The Secretary of that Board Acquaints me, that he has wrote to you by this post desiring the Law might immediately be sent but nothing more is wanting at present but the date. The new England and Jersey States have got their proportion of the money, the press is now employed for the State of New York, and Maryland is next in turn.

It is reported and I believe with good foundation that the Enemy have landed at Philipsburgh About 12 or 15 miles above Kings Bridge, they have burnt some Houses, are Collecting Forage and it is expected are retiring again to New York.

I have the Honor to be with great regard, Yr Excellency most Obedient Servt,

John Hanson
