New York, March 1^st 1786 Sir On The 28 of Sept last I wrote you that a sum of money was appeared to be charged to your account which is not covered by the regimental pay; I after wards sent you a duplicate of that letter, none of which neither have been answered, by you — I found also that M^r Dill[undecipherable] in the same situation having two thousand Dolls charged [undecipherable: At account His pay of the] to [strikethrough: been] what neither by or you had already in your when you drew the balance. regimental accounts, I wrote the executor on the subject who has forwarded to me a copy of your Receipt to him and [undecipherable] for that money; you are therefore not only accountable for the regimental pay as drawn by you, and owed to the men of the regiment agreeably to the Resolves of Congress, but both them sums being also for fifteen thousand Dollars, over and above the pay and other allowances of the regiment. It being so considerable a sum — which at present as [undecipherable] not to be [undecipherable: appropriated] for the public service — I conceive that your interest and honor as well as the public interest requires you to give an attention at least to my letters to you on the duty yet, and that not only this but the regimental pay which has gone through your hand should be accounted for [Col. [undecipherable] / Mch. 1, 1786 / [undecipherable] Comg. [undecipherable]] M^r E[undecipherable] [undecipherable]
