West Point Jany 28 1784
D[ea]r Sir I have received yours of the 20th and the money by M[r] [undecipherable]
[undecipherable] — M[r] Morris writes me that he has paid you ten
[undecipherable] both in Notes and [undecipherable] — [undecipherable]
[undecipherable] to be collected in Specie — as good [undecipherable] [undecipherable]
I suppose you have kept the other two thousand to
exchange and send on in money — or M[r] Morris is
mistaken — Morris's money was [undecipherable: raised/taken] by M[r] [undecipherable] Willis
among his Roll of Canadians, where you were certainly
paid here —
on M[r] Carleton's return I do not doubt you well be able to
commence the settlement; I want to close my accounts
but cannot do it until the whole was ready. I want
to have the accounts passed also for M[r] [undecipherable: Milleguas?]
Officers, that on my coming to [undecipherable] with M[r] Wetmore
our whole accounts may be closed —
The estimate for February will be the same as for Jany
as I do not know of any alteration.
[undecipherable] had better [undecipherable] the 1386 dols also to M[r] Wetmore[undecipherable]
[undecipherable] Ditto accounts be collected, and
entered [undecipherable] our statement — you will, if on
your own [undecipherable] from M[r] Nourse find the charges
[undecipherable] — and I wish you to write him for
[undecipherable] — [undecipherable] and for his vouchers
honor [undecipherable] — did in obtaining our [undecipherable]
as you and M[r] [undecipherable] have nothing material to do
but this I [undecipherable] my number well, be [undecipherable] —
It is not absolutely necessary to keep open the last
months [undecipherable] to show all outstanding [undecipherable]
accounts as far as possible, that we in my [undecipherable] in
our settlement [undecipherable] and our power —
[signature: undecipherable]
[M[r] [undecipherable]]
