[Cover sheet: To / Henry Knox — / Cop^d of K^ds / En^d. folio 215—] F p C. O^ffi May 4^th 1792 In the examination of the accounts of Thomas Smith E^sq Agent for paying the Pensioners of Invalids in Pennsylvania, I have discovered that the sums paid by him, [strikethrough: the payments conformity to the late frames paid for] [strikethrough: your Office,] considerably exceed the allowancy made by M^r Reg Delany E^sq who made the previous payments. On enquiring of M^r Delany, this this difference was occasioned he has satisfactorily accounted for it, by shewing that the sums paid by him, were in conformity to the Interest granted to the Invalids— & that the sums now paid by M^r Smith not only include the pensions, but an extra allowance which was made by the State for a certain period in which some of the Invalids were enrolled & did duty in the State Guard. I have taken the liberty to State this Matter to you that proper measures may be taken to correct the list by which M^r Smith makes the payments, & if also in case it shall be judged proper under all circumstances, to regulate the payments in future so as to correct the errors which have already happened.
