Sir,
Your letter of the 26th Ulto I have recived, the Invoice for the Medicines I thought best to send with the chest, when it arrives the Invoice will be handed to you —
The Packet containing Vouchers I have received, but as yet have had no time to examine, I shall attend to them as soon as the Post Business is over —
In my last I informed you that all the Monies drawn by you were transmitted to me, and that in all your Vouchers were to be forwarded, the reason this is done the latter, especially you that all the Monies for the Quarter Master as well as other Departments are drawn through me — As soon as I have this advise of your Engagements you may rest assured that the Money shall be forwarded to exonerate you fully — All Monies are received on Estimate, every call for it of course must be very explicit & precise.
I mentioned I had hurried to you in my last, when I have leisure & this first spare letter, I shall examine what is proper to be done — We are all sensible that you are fully complyed, and I am sure you are foreseen, when you express a wish for the termination of the War — I sincerely join in every prayer of the kind.
Thomas Martin whose Waggons get off Yesterday for Pittsburgh has an excellent [undecipherable] of the charges for you, returning to the advance Compts of the Duties on purchased I shall be first off. [undecipherable] safely by Colonel Collester, who is coming on in a day or two.
