Lancaster 10th May 1786.
Sir
As I am confident there is still something remaining due from the continent [underline: to me] as an Officer in the service, especially whilst at the Southward, please send to the bearer any Certificates, which I am confident were made out for & sent by the Auditors which were sent here; but they were so ungrateful to retain from me, which I think I richly deserved.
Please to informe me by the bearer in which manner to proceed — if you can do any thing for me the bearer Mr Weitzel will sign any receipts that will answer, or make out any amounts for me for further instructions shall be thankful
Yours &c
Wm Feltman
