Dear Sir
The Enclosed Account Current will shew that you have made a mistake in the Settlement of the Account of St William Hamion of 36th Yo dorans by crediting him a balance of 13 Yo doran instead of charging the same to his Account, which if possible I wish may be rectifyed
Capt Wacker Mims received of Hest Lord 170 dorans for his pay for Feby March and April 1783. and of Horatio Angost the Same sum, in the same time. You charged himself with only one of these Sums I wish you to let on him also to refund the same.
