Knoxville July 1st 1794
Sir
I have Sent on my Accounts up to the last of June as Perfect as the Matters of the Troops will Admit, to my Agent to be by him Presented to You or such Other Officer whose duty it may be to Examine and Pastthem.
It is unnecessary for me to remark to You what I now have no Money Advanced On the Contract — the Necessity I am Under for having the cash due me Speedily as Possible payed into the hands of Your Mr Samuel Jackson.
If the Muster Rolls on which such Accounts have heretofore been compared are not forwarded to You it is not in my power to help it, as this does not pass thro my hands. Nor can I consider it a reason why my Accounts should be Stoped, but if You Or Other Gentlemen in Office thro whose hands my Accounts are to pass [undecipherable] I Request that their Amounts may be [undecipherable] paid into the hands of my Agent On Account — You will Readily see my Accounts are made up to the end of the 2d Quarter as Understood by You and Myself that I was to Exhibit them Quarterly for Payment — I am with great Respect Your Most Obt Servant
