[West Point Octr 7. 93
from George Fleming
Received 10th Octr. 94]
West Point, Octr 7th 1794
Sir,
I enclose you a package of vouchers amounting to 2194 dollars & 74 cents. I have another package nearly ready to send to you. I have written this day to the hon. the Secretary of War, & requested him to forward to me, on the receipt of my letter, six thousand dollars for contingent expences at this garrison.
I find it impossible to send my vouchers to you as fast, and as regularly arranged, as I could wish. — I have not yet had time to look particularly at the vouchers you sent back to me. I would just remark to you for the present, that in this State 26 working days are reckoned a month. —
I am, with great respect,
Sir,
Your most obedient
humble servant,
Geo Fleming
The amount of the package of vouchers is 2434.75/100
