the papers relative to that Corps, and as I understand Cap. Herd is now with you for the purpose of closing those accounts, I am to inform you it is the wish of M. Pierce that you take up the accounts of the whole, for if partial settlements are made it will retard the Business exceedingly, as well as confuse the accounts & give Cap. Herd much unnecessary trouble — You will therefore proceed in the settlement of that Corps — The Return of the Horse I have not been able to procure for this post — by the next you may expect them if to be had — Yours &c S. Howell Jun. [A. Dunscomb] Philad.^a 28 Sept. 1784. Sir, Inclosed you will receive the returns of the 1.^st & 2.^d Reg.^t of Cavalry in as perfect a State as is possible to be procured.
