Dear Sir New York Oct: 28 1786. Your Letter of the 13^th together with one from General Gist has been received by me. and an Attention paid to their Contents. you were mistaken in Entering the Charge against the General of 378 dollars as received of M^r. Hethley—it was paid him by me on the 22 of October 1783 entered in M^r Ands Acct. again enclosed you and which for distinction sake I have numbered N^o 1. there is however an inexplicable difficulty in his and Gale's Accts which you & M^r Hamilton may perhaps be able to remove. for this Purpose I have also enclosed you Copies of all the Settlements made by these Gentlemen with your [undecipherable] N^o 2. Gist Account as on file. N^o 3 & 4 Gale Account as on file. N^o 5 Gale Account Current, as Entered in your books. & 6. Gale's deb^t & the Issues. Charge against Gale as Entered in my Books. & 8. a rough Statement of their Accounts of Specie accounts for made out by me as far as my information extends. the difficulties which this last number will point out are. that Gale credits more than he is charged by one hundred dollars. which I suppose is a Part of the Sum Charged to Gist. Secondly that Gale credits in Morris Notes 623 dollars whereas I charge him only 525. this difference I am unable to Account for. Thirdly that the General credits sundry sums of money received from General Greene amounting to 318. 50 Dollars whereas we charge him only 443. in Dollars we have therefore made the Charge too little on he Credits too much and I am unable to explain the difficulty. wish you would be pleased to return Observations with this Letter and Accompanying Papers either to me or forward them on
