Dear Sir,
I have inclosed to my friend Mr. Burnley two powers of Attorney for Pay due to Redman Crews and Dennis Campbell - and an Account of Capt Jno Scott for balance of Pay [undecipherable] the Certificates handed Mr Bumby [undecipherable: Account of] the parties concerned - I also beg to remind you of those others not yet attended to - as well the Subject of deficiencies on the Return made the Loan Officer of this States, being almost daily perplexed with applications on the Subject - pray let these matters meet your notices as many poor fellows are awaiting what they have a right to demand of the U. States -
[Capt. Scotts claim inclosed
to be referred to the Director
having made a Report. H
Jos. Howall Esqr]
I am in haste -
with great regard
your Most Obt Ser.
