Madam July 22. 1794
I have received your letter of [undecipherable] and in consequence thereof have caused to be remitted to Reuean Dunham Esqr Supervisor at Trenton Forty dollars being Captains Pike's pay for the Month of Decemr 1793. I have advised Mr Dawkson as an eligible mode of conveying it in your hands to remit it to Jonathan Dayton Esquire, to be paid to you and for which you will sign a receipt accordingly. I have written to Mr Dayton [undecipherable] you give him it not being in form. — Unless I should receive different instructions from Capt. Pike you may calculate upon receiving One hundred and twenty dollars more at monthly payments of forty dollars each, after which period I expect from the proposals I have made to Capt. Pike, that he will affect an arrangement for your regularly receiving such sum of his pay as he may request, unless you should prefer going to him to Staying in this part of the country — I return you inclosed your letter of 12th Inst as the particular matter you mention had better be reserved to yourself unless you should find it necessary to have recourse to the means intimated, which I presume and hope will not be the case since measures are taken for furnishing you regular remittances — In respect to your son if I can serve him in the manner you mention
