March 12, 1795.
Sir,
I have received yours of this
day— your accounts I had intended to have
acted on when presented but unfortunately the
gentleman whom I intended should have settled
them has been unwell ever since, and I have
been so excessively engaged with a violent mass
of business that it was impossible to attend to them,
however, I will endeavor to oblige you as soon as
possible, but untill your accounts are reported
on I cannot act on your Commutation—
I am Sir &c
General Moylan Joseph Howell
