Sir
The same reason still exists which I assigned to you on a former application which prevents the final adjustment of the accounts of the late Lieut. Norton B. Tobin, namely that the Paymaster of the Troops in Georgia not having settled his accounts to [undecipherable] cannot be ascertained whether he may not have paid the full balance of Mr. Tobin's pay and probably he may have advanced money to him for recruiting. An Agent is since sent into that State from whom information is shortly expected of the accounts of the Troops— In the mean time the following Statement will show the situation of Lieut. Tobin's account as it stands in my view which will be conclusive provided it shall appear that he is not accountable for any further monies viz—
The United States Dr to H. Norton B. Tobin deceased
For his pay from 1st Jany to 1st March 1792 inclusive
2 Months 3 days @ $22.50½ D. Tobin 46.93
For Do from 1st March to 1st July his day
of his death inclusively is 4Mo 9 days 20½
Dollrs 188.73
From which deduct viz:
1791 Dec 12. Cash recd of [undecipherable] for
two months pay on account receipt
which was admitted to be credited by
H. Tobin on his account at the
Ohio up to 1st Jany 1792. . . [undecipherable]
Cash pd by Mr. Smiley Contractor
for his horse hire . . . 1.25
1792 May 3. Cash for his order—Gent. Capt.
Mills for his pay for Jany,
Feby March & April 1792 by
J. Howell Actg P.M. Go 83.
133.25
Dollrs 25.48
Leaving apparently a Balance of Twenty five dollars [undecipherable] due [undecipherable] under the inscription above stated.
