Richmond Nov 12th 1787

Dear Sir

I wrote you sometime since and inclosed you some papers of Doctor Tryvants since which I have received those you will now receive. I do not pretend to make any decision myself or hi clam but leave the same to you, as you are possessed with the return of the Prisoners and the arrangements of the line. I inclose you paper respecting Major Fauntleroy’s say which I wish you to hand to Cap Manifold who requested me to lodge a claim for the same here -

I believe that the 40 Dollars I mentioned to you of Lieut Major Carrington is a mistake he credited on his settlement with Mr Dunscomb this sum as received of Maj William Lewis and Mr Swan has charged him I conjecture with the same money, if so there is still fort dollars in money coming to him an order for which you had better send on to me here - I am Dr Sir
