West Point, No. 28. 1794.
Sir,
I now enclose you vouchers for 4325 dollars 99 cents. I have vouchers to a large amount not quite all signed, which I will be able to send to you very shortly.
As I am now out of money, I have requested the hon. the Secretary of War to send to me, for contingent expenses at this garrison, six thousand dollars, on receipt of my letter.
I also enclose you my replies to your remarks on my accounts of vouchers dated July 1st & August 21st. I hope they will prove satisfactory.
I am, with great esteem,
Sir,
Your most obedient
humble servant,
Geo. Fleming
P.S. Capt. Scott informs me he receives his pay from Col. Fish & receipted to him for it.
Joseph Howell Esq.
