New York 19^th April 1796 Sir Your claim for stoppages made out of the pay of the non Commissioned Officers and Privates of your Company has been considered — I have no desire to refuse the allowance of any demands made by a Gentleman of honor, but I must [undecipherable: perhaps "defer"] the admission of this for the following reasons — That the Account having arisen so long back as 1776 is attended with all the disadvantages arising from so long a period — and therefore impossible to have such lights thereon as it might have been the case, had it been presented and stated earlier, and at this time it is unknown how many demands of this is admitted may be produced of the same nature, nor what circumstances they may be attended with indeed when this account shall be examined it appears to me that it will be necessary for you to show if possible by certificates the amount of clothing and other [undecipherable] ought to be charged [undecipherable] the same, and the accounts and acknowledgments from [undecipherable] of the monies you have paid to them on account, or else orders for the respective balances which may be [undecipherable] & [undecipherable] from you wish to receive them. Your papers and accounts are lodged in my Office and therefore you will not be frustrated by waiting for a further opportunity. [Col: Caleb North }]

He still wants a description of Willard and how he was dressed as well as a description of the man to whom he sold his certificate. He asks also if either of them are yet in Connecticut.
