New York May 3. 1793 I do myself the Honor to enclose you a Statement of the pay an clothing due that part of Colonel Humphreys' Regiment raised in Connecticut — the muster Rolls of Cap. Throop's Company is imperfect in respect to Joseph Hill and Bejamin Tooley, whose dates of enlistment are not inserted. They have with John M^cBride received money previous to their desertion, and the pay of those men will not cover the money advanced — I am opinion that the officer who paid those men should be accountable to the united States and the sum deducted from his pay. — the clothing issued to deserters in four instances was more than what they were entitled to receive for the time they served — but as the whole amount due them will Cover the Clothing received, the United States will Sustain No loss.
