Dear Sir
Inclosed is a state of your account as it stands apparent — I find that the goods at York Town, 6 months price in 1781 and some other charges are expected to be accounted for on your settlement with the Commissioner for the Department — Colo Walker who was as Able to the Commander in chief is now appointed to settle these Accounts, he will therefore attend to you when you think proper and any assistance I can give you I will do with cheerfulness — I conclude that you have another money on stores to account and that therefore your account made out and sworn and an order for comparison to receive your balance will be different without your personal application
