Office of Army Accounts 11 April 15 1786 Sir I do myself the honor to inclose you a Pay Roll of a detachment of the 1^st Regiment stationed at M^t. M^cKunt with an account annexed by which it appears that a balance of 47 8/8 dollars is due the detachment to the 1^st of January 1787. Ensign Luce has received of Lieut Beatty the sum of 70 dollars being for one months pay of himself 1 Sejeant 1 Corporal and 12 Privates, which Sum M^r Luce acknowledges to have appropriated to his own use; this charge I have not introduced into this account but propose with your approbation to oppose it to his pay of 1789 — I have the honor to be with great respect your ob^d Serv^t The Hon^ble. The Sec^y at War J. Howell Jun^r. Office of Army Accounts New York, May 2^d 1788 Sir M^r. Mark Garrett does not appear either on the return of prisoners or list of exchanges that are on file in this office — I imagine you can procure the information at the War Office, as they have all the returns — I was mistaken in respect to M^r. Garrett's being commissioned in the Pennsylvania line. On referring to the accounts I find Rob^t. Patit & James Garrett, who were Commissaries, were appointed, which led me to the mistake — I am & J. Howell Jun^r. Leu^t. Burrall Esq^r.
