New York July 25^th 1786. Sir, Your favor of the 19th instant was received Yesterday, and agreeably to your request have made inquiry of the Commissr for the M^r Cantd Commissaries department (M^r Brenall) what was necessary to be done — he informs me that your accounts come properly under his notice; that he has the charges of Carpenter Wharton against his deputies, and expects those against you are with him — the time limited for the accounts does not in the least apply to M^r Brenalls department. You can therefore settle your accounts when your Business will most conveniently admit; tho it will be necessary that you attend here for the purpose; and my advice is if the object is worthy your attention that you will do it as soon as may be — Yours J. Howell M^r Sam^l Dilworth
