[address leaf: from Geo. Fleming / Mili^s Storekeeper U.S.A / 1^st Grenidrs & Militia / Commissoria [undecipherable] / capl. [undecipherable] 2 [undecipherable]] [West Point] West Point, July 14^th 1794. Sir, Your favor of the 8^th [undecipherable: Ultimo] I have received. I now enclose you my account current dated this day, my account of contingent expences at this garrison of the same date, with my vouchers to it. I have requested the hon. the Secretary of War to forward to me immediately four thousand dollars for contingent expences at this garrison. I find it impoffible to get proper vouchers in time for all the money I have paid out to send to you. A fresh supply I am now in eminent want of, as I have not any of the Public's money in my hands. I am, with esteem, Sir, Your most obed^t. humble servant, Geo. Fleming. Major Joseph Howell.
