[Private, which was not the case with the state of Georgia whose line being distroyed in the years 1779 & 1780. had no depreciation to make up except to its Officers. that there is no regard in this Scale to the different strength of the Lines in proportion to the different quotas of the States. or to a Comparison which may be drawn between the Supplies and advances made by the different states. or to some individual Accounts closed since the general Settlement made in Georgia. or to an advance to General McIntosh made by the state and which has not been settled by me or Credited to the states.

The advance on Account by New Jersey was two Months paid to the line in 1781. by Pennsylvania was paid two Months. and also paid to its Officers in 1781. that of Delaware was the same. Massachussetts supplied and them delivered to the line in 1781. Connecticut was directly supplies to the Officers and the Soldiers families that of So Carolina & South Carolina arose from Stoppages made from the Lines in Consequence of improper Settlements. and the Credit to Maryland which may be in some measure inaccurate as on both from an advance on Account and also from Stoppages made for Errors in the depreciation Settlmt.
It is possible for me to find by the Musters of the Army and the Accounts in my Office. the amount which each State had a right to pay to its Line. both for depreciation and pay in the years 1780 & 1781. by which the relative payments of the States on this Article of their Charges may be clearly known. but it will be a work of much time trouble and may not be worth the expence.
Sir Office of Army Accounts Sept 30 1786.
I do myself the honor. in Consequence of your request. to inclose a stating of the Species that would have been due to the Officers of the line of Georgia. had not the State in the first instance included the same in their Settlements and certificates found thereon. and had I not given the State
