Philadelphia Oct 25th 1787

Dear Sir

The bearer of this Doct Joseph Fenton was surgeon of a Battalion of Flying Camp and his pay for that service he claims as not having been received, the settlement of this account would have given him no difficulty if the claim had been made to you before August 1786, but the mistake lay in making his application to me with whom he conceived the

the settlement of it lay, and I can assure you that it was (undecipherable) made before August 1786 - If this will do and his account can yet be settled in consequence thereof or of any other thing that can be done to promote it. I have ventured to assure him you will not be wanting to lend him all the assistance you can.

I am Dr Sir Yo
