[96] Carlisle January 24. 1787 Dear Sir The last time I saw you in Philadelphia you desired me to leave my unsettled accounts with you and [undecipherable] on what could be done for me therefore I beg the favour of you to settle them and send my Certificates by the hand of the bearer hereof Col. Dunlap and in so doing you will greatly oblige Your Friend &c John Robb Capt. Howell auditor of Public accounts — New York February 10^th 1787 Sir Your favor of the 9^th Instant reached me on friday last— I have examined the list of Absentees as returned by Mr. [undecipherable] paymaster to Col. [undecipherable] Regiment and do not find that Lieut. Thomas Boyd is among them from which I am led to believe that he must have received all that was due him to the time of Mr. [undecipherable]'s resignation as Reg. Pay Master which appears to be on or about the 1 January 1778 from which there does not appear to have been any regular payment
