Dear Sir New York Sept 29^th 1786 The Account N^o 1 is a Coppy of your Account Current as settled with Virginia; N^o 2 is a Copy of a [letter] from M^r Duncomb respecting it; N^o 3 is a Copy of your Settlement made in M^r Duncomb and N^o 4 is an Account made out by me as far as my information will serve me Stating the balance still due to you from the Public— in this Account I have carried to your Credit 333 dollars 4 27/90 dollars which you have Credited improperly. the first Second to the State for monies rec^d from M^r Dart, which he has not charged to you on the other side of the Account I have debited you with the Cash paid you by Spencer, Bondinot & Beatty. from a general Survey of these Accounts & your information on them I am still of Opinion notwithstanding what Skinner & Gorton says on the Subject that this Charge from Skinner is for your private debt but I cannot get hold of any evidence on the Subject except the Circumstance that according to your Credit of Board it could in the last possibly amount to so large a Sum as the Charge made You by Skinner Bondinot & Beatty. I see you are charged with 3000 dollars or paid you by A Skinner October 13 1780 and 3666.40 by Joseph Carleton in Nov^r 1780. and that you hint at these sums as having been Credited by you in your Settlements with the States, and I find that you Credited 400 dollars Specie as received at different times which I suppose includes these two payments reduced to Specie & possibly some others now Charged to you— as I am determined to have this Account exact, you will Oblige me by ascertaining in what Manner you made out this 400 dollars— and from home you received the money, you will forgive me for giving you so much trouble, but unless it is done you appear to run the hazzard of Suffering in your Interest.
