Sir
I have received your letter of 23.
April, wherein you mention having inlisted more
men since I forwarded a statement of your account,
you will therefore transmit the whole of your vou-
chers and after such transmission you will execute
subordinately to Captain Bisfell and if he has
or should advance you any money for that pur-
pose, you will enlist the men in his name and
settle with him as it is unnecessary and irregular
to keep accounts for two Officers at the same rendy-
vous. Captain Bisfell an application to the Secretary
of War will from time to time receive what money
he may find necessary for recruiting and an
transmitting his muster rolls. I shall remit the pay
also. As soon as your vouchers are received I shall
settle your account if any balance is due shall
remit it immediately — I shall write Mr Chester how
I wish the money disposed of which is in his hands.
