Philadelphia 29 Sept [18]6[?]
Having since my last received a Warrant for part of the balance due on my accounts — I enclose by this conveyance, which I conceive to be the speediest and safest One in Thousand Dollars, and shall continue thus to remit until your Balance is paid — In your last Statement you suppose a balance due you equal to Five thousand three hundred and Seventy five Dollars — From this as I have repeatedly before noticed, you are to deduct the two thousand dollars last drawn, as they are charged to me and make part of the debts against me. By the nearest Post I hope to be enabled to send you a Statement of your account
as paid in the Auditors Office that you may know the exact sum that is still due to you — in the mean time I must mention, to you the Necessity of forwarding real vouchers for such further demands as you may have to prefer — the insertion in an account of Monies paid [per?] General [McLan?], or any sum paid to a Clerk, will never answer without regular vouchers — when they are furnished all monies that are paid to the Government are chargeable will be admitted — none others can — As soon as the other articles which I am to provide for you go forward, I shall close and send on your private account, that a general adjustment may take place —
I am Sir your Most Obed[ien]t
Major Craig — James [Hodgdon?]
