[Endorsed: from M[undecipherable] / 3d June 1784]
Sir
By an advertisement of the Auditors appointed to settle the Accounts of this State I find I am under the necessity of troubling you for a Certificate of the Amount of Clothing I rec'd in that Year and also that I rec'd no [undecipherable] on acct of my Pay. This I take to be the meaning of their publication which probably you have seen. —
My Account I inclose because you may think it most proper to Certify on the form. — A letter by the post to N. York will come safe to me. —
I am Sir
Your Most [undecipherable]
