November 26 1786 to Oliver Wolcott Junr. Esqr Copied Examined New York November 28 1786 Dear Sir, Your Letter of the 18th requesting an account stating of the accounts of the State of Connecticut is received & shall be attended to — I am at a loss however, whether you have intended to requested all the accounts of the state extracted from the different officers, or only those which have arisen in mine. Inclosed is an original Receipt given by Jona. Philips and John Thomas for 10,283 76/90 Dols in Certificates, which they have not accounted for, I take the liberty therefore to request that you will call on them to deliver into you the vouchers that they have taken for these certificates, and where they have not been issued, the certificates themselves, and in case they refu this is refused, that you would cause the obligation to be put into suit — a certificate] from your office sufficient to which will authorize a charge against the state will be a sufficient voucher for these Gentlemen. I am, with great respect, Dr Sir Your Ob Servt. [to] Oliver Wolcott Jur Esqr
