Colonel Drake's accounting statement
Document 1787The Commissioner of Army Accounts notifies John Hopkins that Colonel Darke's statement of his accounting is incomplete, so he is still held accountable for the public monies for which he was responsible.
Your letter enclosing Colonel Darke’sstatement of his accounting for the public monies is satisfactory excepting the sums received by him of General Muchlenbergh which Mr. Stokes [ilegible] no account of or indeed settled his own account as Paymaster. I have therefore no vouchers exhibited to me which will justify me to discharge Col. Darke and hold him no longer accountable.
