Sir
Since my letter of 27th Ulto. I have received your favors of 1st and 8th Inst with sundry inclosures which I have attempted to compare with your Account Current but as the vouchers according to numbers and dates of payments are misplaced and the Muster separated from the pay rolls there is not time before the departure of the Mail to arrange them. I wish in future they may be transmitted in order agreeably to their vouchers and dates and the Muster and pay rolls of each payment placed together — I have received F. Daleho's
Account Current and vouchers, the receipts I find to be very deficient, the Comptroller directs that separate receipts be taken. I conceive that a general receipt signed by each person respectively having all the essential requisites of distinct receipts would form a construction that would accord with the ideas of the Comptroller and as an infinity of time would be saved by such a regulation I agree to adopt it and have accordingly inclosed a Form of a receipt calld for that purpose copy of which you will be pleased to furnish to the Sub Paymasters for their government in making their payments.
