I certify on Honor that I have never received any consideration
from the public or any individual for the above account

Wm Wyman & made solemn oath to the
truth of the within acct by him [undecipherable]

Paid — before [undecipherable]
[undecipherable: Commiss?]
I cannot find by the Accounts of General Patterson or any other evidence
in this Office that Captain Wyman was in the Service of the U States at [undecipherable]
in the Year 1777, the date of this Account, therefore appears to me [undecipherable: necessary?]
in order to support this Claim it is necessary that a Muster Roll be produced
[undecipherable] that the Men were inlisted — This Office is not possessed of any such evidence

Capt Wyman acknowledges his mistake in dating the Office of [undecipherable]
written Account when it was written, which was in the year New York March 2[undecipherable]
1777 instead of 1776, when it should have been dated; but
he avows a multiplicity of business hindered Mr [undecipherable]
from thoroughly considering Gov. Patterson's [undecipherable] at the Roll in [undecipherable] Office
