[undecipherable] [Andrew Dunscomb [undecipherable: August 2? 179?] Copied] New York August 9 179[undecipherable] Dear Sir Your letter of the 8^th I receiv'd to and yesterday — [undecipherable] limit as respect to monies omitted to be [undecipherable] & [undecipherable] by the Officers I am oblig'd to you for, and will to thank you to send me a list of [undecipherable] names and [undecipherable] as come to [undecipherable] not taking measures to [undecipherable] actions against [undecipherable] such persons as must refuse [undecipherable] money, but until that is done I should not now not be able to give you any other [undecipherable] instructions on the subject— Since my [undecipherable] to [undecipherable] duty [undecipherable] the ballance due to the [undecipherable] Officers [undecipherable] on account of their [undecipherable] Officers not had any agency in that business— when the money is furnish'd I shall take the proper steps to get it into their hands, but from the present [undecipherable] situation of our [undecipherable] I have but little hopes of that being done. [undecipherable: A. Dunscomb?]
