Office of Army Accounts New York July 22^d 1782. Dear Sir Your letter of the 8^th of May last to M^r Pierce was handed me a few days since. Agreeably to your request I enclose you a copy of the original Warrant certified by the Register of the Treasury, granted to general Heth for a M Pay amounting to 250 Doll^rs which sum you will find has been received by Major Trophon & for which he is certainly accountable to general Heth — M^r Pierces indisposition & absence from the office induces me to advise you that you may receive the earliest information of the transaction. You will oblige me by presenting my respectful compliments to M^rs Wilkinson. I am S^r J Howell Jun^r General James Wilkinson Kentucky
