War Department Accountants office Feb^y 7^th 1794 Sir I inclose a Voucher to a contingent account of Ensign Daniel Bissell for keeping a public house which he states to have received of Maj^r Isaac Craig in Pittsburgh — as I do not know on what authority the charge is founded and as it is not within the idea of a contingent expence of the War Department, I refer it to you as possibly belonging to the expences appertaining to the Quarter Masters Department. I am Sir Your ob^d S^vt Joseph Howell Sam^l Hodgdon Esq^r Agent for the Quarter Master Gen^l [Received Feb the 11 No. 24. 1504. R. Co. Adjut^d] [Letter from Joseph Howell Accounts officers Ensign Bissells Lieu^t + Adjutant February]
