Sir
Having made a settlement of an Account this day with Colo James Livingston for the recruiting his Regiment in 1776 I find there is due from him to the United States the sum of eighty Dollars which I am to request may be deducted from the balances due to him, settled in your Office.
In order to give a clear stating of his accounts as they stand in my Books I have collected the allowances passed to his credit in your Office with those admitted by me, and make a balance on the whole to be due to him of Sixty Dollars 62¾/90 now remaining to be certified. A Copy of the stating I have inclosed.
