[from the Treasury Board reported on September 21 1785.] Board of Treasury, New York Sep^r 19^th 1785 Sir, A Petition of Lewis Nichola and Richard Lloyd Agents for the Invalid Corps, and the Regiment lately Commanded by General Hazen, praying for a Compensation for their Services, has been referred by Congress to this Board — Though these Corps are not Included in the Resolve of Congress of the 27^th May last, (which recommends it to the Several States, to make such an allowance as they should think proper to the Agents for the State Regiments, charging the same [underline: to the United States,]) it appears Reasonable not to Exclude their Agents from a proper Compensation. Of the Extent, and Nature of their Services, you must of the Course be the best Judge — We wish you therefore to Report to this Board, whether any, and what Compensation it might be proper to make to the Agents of the Invalid, and Hazen's Regiments for their Respective Services. We are, Sir, Your Obed^t. Humble Serv^ts. Walter Livingston Arthur Lee [To John Pierce Esq^r. Commiss^r. of Army Accounts.]
