Philadelphia Sept. 16 1784
Sir
I think I informed you that if the mode I then adopted would not answer for you that I would give you a certificate for your pay in 1781 such as would be sufficient — if you will send me your security I will in exchange give not such a certificate, as will come within the words of the law — I shall leave this the first of October and therefore wish to send it on before that and
I am Sir
Your Obsert
[Recd Platt —]
