Philadelphia June 7 1784
Sir
Being out on a visit to Congress I did not receive your letter of the 8th Ulto until my return —
I do not know of any impediment lying that can prevent a close of your accounts with the United States, except that of rations which I think must remain unsettled — it being impossible to obtain the proper information from the Commissaries. —
There are some charges against you in this Office for monies recieved on account of the pay of your regiment in 1775 & 1776, which had best be closed —
I am with great respect, and esteem,
Your Ob. Servt Humt.
[m. Dougall]
