Philadelphia Sept 10 1784.
Dir
I forwarded to you by Capt Tate, a number of my certificates signed and dated — which I hope are arrived. I now inclose you a small advance made by you for transporting the muskets which I refer you to obtain payment for and remit to me —
I have received a letter from Col Lawrence — inclosing an account of his [undecipherable] [undecipherable] of Clothing in 1783 — the vouchers for which I believe he has left with you — I find the charges to M'Dart are accounted for and now refer you to examine the account & finally adjust it and discharge it — I have already balanced the account of his in my Books —
