Sir
Your claim for pay and commutation is referred by me to Congress, which has thrown the question out of my cognizance. You will therefore apply to that body and not to

Sir
As you are accountable for the money paid to your order, and it will be necessary that you produce the receipts of the Regiment to discharge you if you forward on these receipts I shall endeavour to close your accounts without your personal attention — You do not mention in your letter of the 25th of May, the manner you account for the money paid you by Colo Brooks.

Dear Sir Your letter of the 25th Ulto is arrived — It will be necessary that the papers of your Office be forwarded under the care of some person who may be confided in — Mr Mifflin having returned without going into Maryland —
I enclose you the account of the State of Maryland against Lieut Baker as I have charges unstoped which will not only absorb the specie that was coming to him but also there will be a loss from him of about fifty four Dollars.

Sir
Mr Rudulph in behalf of his deceased brother has made application to me for his arrears of pay &c. Major Rudulph stands charged in my office as will appear by the inclosed Account with considerable sums of money drawn by him for the use of the Legion which it is necessary should be accounted for — before his certificates can be granted —
Mr Rudulph suggests that his brothers vouchers for the expenditure and payment of this money were lost or carried away by Serjant Henderson who deserted and took along with him Major Rudulph's baggage — and refers me to you for such information as you possess on the subject. As much depends on this information you will much oblige me by furnishing me with it as early as convenient
