[8 June 1784] [To M^r Dunscomb] [a Copy'd] Philad[elphia] June 7. 1784 D[ea]r Sir, I have just returned from Congress, and this moment received your letter of the 29^th Ulto — Congress have desired the Assembly of Virginia to furnish you with an account of the monies charged to the officers of [their] the line by the the United States, which have been accounted [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] settlement lately made with them — and also an account of any monies which the State may wish to have stopped on the settlement now to be made — It is not expected by Congress that we shall proceed on a supposition that monies have or have not been accounted for, but as the accounts now in the Auditors hands, it [is] our duty to obtain them, on this foundation we are permitted to proceed and take up the accounts of the line in the best manner possible, and if no better method can be found, to take the oath of the Officer for the truth of his account and the certificate of the Field Officers for that of the privates — in respect to the old accounts I am at liberty [we are] to take the best vouchers that can be obtained and whatever is satisfactory to us, will be [satisfactory] — I have not a copy of these resolutions, but will obtain one and send it to you — I shall take immediate measures to set the whole in motion — and expect by the time you procure the informations requested from the Auditors and entered what has been [undecipherable] for to the credit of the Officers, to furnish you with a set of Muster Rolls, [undecipherable: taken by Tennant & Muster?] a list of the Officers, and a quantity of my satisfac[tion] [signed?] — I will [undecipherable] your [in] Mind, some 3 system, which will prevent as far as possible the impositions which the Auditors have experienced in their settlements — will note the Muster Rolls just mentioned [be] of great [service?] — I am as anxious as you can possibly be to have the business completed and my [undecipherable] of the Virginia line — I am with Friendship & [am] Your Most Ob[edien]t Se[rvan]t.
