Philadelphia 14^th July 1786. Sir, As a part of my accounts with the U. States remain unsettled, owing to a charge made against me by Colonel Francis Johnston (which I make no doubt you recollect) of 1200 dollars received from him, a part of which by his directions I paid to the Officers and Soldiers as pay from 15 March to 1 June 1779 and the ballance I returned to him — therefore I thought that account totally settled, until informed by you to the contrary — On the settlement of my account as Regimental Pay Mas. I left most of the vouchers for expenditures of the above sum, with my others in the hands of yourself and James Johnston Esq. the then Auditors — As there is money due me by the U. States I cannot get a Certificate until the account as to the 1200 Dols. is settled, would therefore be particularly obliged by your information, in what Office or hands those papers may now be in, and if easily had access to, as I wish much to have it settled. I am Sir, Your Obed Ser. M. Kimmell Capt. Howell. Office of Army accounts N. York 14 July 1786 Sir, Your letter of 14^th Instant I have received. The papers and vouchers which you mention being left in my hands are now in this Office — I wish you to come on in the course of next month for the final settlement of your accounts — Your former Letters have miscarried as your last is the only one I have received. I am, Sir, &c J. Howell M^r Michael Kimmell.
