Cap Erasmus Gill July 24 1787 Copied Dr [indecipherable] Richmond July 24 1787 I intended to have waited on you prior to my leaving Petersburgh, but was disappointed. I have since my return received a copy of the stating of your account of depreciation and also settled with Mr. Milligan and also of that with the [indecipherable], by which it appears that your [indecipherable] & rations have been twice drawn from Decem 10 [indecipherable] to Jary 1 82 tho’ the latter has been at different prices, but on the whole brings you considerably in debt to the United States or the State of Virginia. I am convinced the error arose from a supposition that the amount settled with Milligan was for your expences, which was not the case as appears by an exact copy of it I have now enclosed you. A copy also of your depreciation account settled with this State I also inclose you and am with esteem Dsir Your obt sevt.
