[April 16, 1792. From David Allison. To Joseph Howell Esqr.]
Philadelphia April 16th 1792
Sir
Agreeably to your request I have made a Statement of the Monies which I suppose to have been [strikethrough: paid by General Sevier to the tories from the Terri=] tory South of the Ohio. and which, in my Statement lodged in your Office, I have considered paid them
To the Contractor for Supplies and transporting
the Troops to Fort Washington calculated at 1750
For Bounty to 195 Men at 3 dls each . 585
For 1 Mo's pay to the different Officers
and the above enumerated Privates 910.
Dollars 3245
I consider the sum alledged to be paid to the Contractor under the Amount which he actually received from Gen. Sevier, if so adding the pay of the Generals Service and contingent expences to the above Statements on a supposition that the orders have been complied with, a balance will be due him in my opinion, but provided the payments have not been made the balance will be in favour of the Seviers after the full amount of my Statement being paid, should it prove otherwise on a final adjustment of the Accounts Payments and necessary and legal Disbursements I hold myself bound immediately to refund the overplus together with a Statement of the Payments and Vouchers thereon to your Office. I have the honor to be with respect and Esteem Sir
Your obedient
Humble Servant
