West point, Decr 19, 1793.
Sir,
Your favors to the 15th of all others I have received — I suppose you have received from Coll Brock my receipts for seventeen hundred dollars.
The 120 dollars & the 8y dollars & 32 cents you mention in your last letter your having sent to Coll Brock for me I have not yet received, I have sent for them —
Inclosed you will receive my account current; my account of disbursements with its vouchers, my account for inlisting men with their receipts & inlistments, pay roll for the extra service of the advance men shipping stores to Albany with their receipt for the money, as I found it expedient to them also to expedite the business, and Colt Putnam Wrights account for himself & workmen to the 1st of this month —
Altho' by my account current it appears there remains with me 431 dollars & 97½ cents, yet I have not any of them in my hands — I have had to advance to Capt Wright & his workmen about or upwards of 300 dollars of them, & the rest, my great hurry of business when I paid them out, prevented my making out accounts & writing duplicate receipts for them. Capt Wright & his men are to return me the money on their receiving their pay.
I am, with great respect,
Sir,
Your most obedient
Humble servant,
Geo. Blessing.
[flourish]
