[from Constant Freeman July 11^th 1794] Fort Fidius, 11^th July 1794. Sir, Enclosed is a duplicate of my letter to you of the thirtieth of last month. I have not yet received the money from the Supervisor although I have sent to him purposely for it — it had not then come to hand. I have to inform you that the notes of the Branch Banks of Baltimore and Charleston have been counterfeited in this State — this will subject the troops to another inconvenience; and place me in a very precarious situation — I do not know the marks by which they may be detected — and I may unknowingly take them in exchange for large notes. If the money could be obtained immediately from the Bank in Charleston by bills of exchange, it would obviate these difficulties. I am with great esteem Sir Your most obedient humble Servant Const. Freeman Joseph Howell Esq^r A. D. W
