Sir,
With this I forward an account for my rations up to Sep 1. after which time it will be more convenient for me to settle with the contractor so long as I continue on the recruiting business —
I likewise forward to the War Office duplicate Muster rolls to the 31 Aug — If, Sir, it is convenient I will be extremely obliged to you to forward the Pay up to that time by the 15th inst. as I propose taking a tour through Vermont on the recruiting business about the 20th
I am Sir, very respectfully
your obedient Servant
