I now transmit duplicates of my letters of 27th November and 8th [undecipherable].
I have received your letter of 4th November
with Estimates and Muster and pay rolls
of the Militia and Fauts employed in Geor-
gia in 1792 and part of the present year.
which I have with your communications
laid before the Secretary of War for his con-
sideration. I request you will be pleased
to obtain and to furnish to this Department
information of the nature of services performed
by those companies or detachments, which
the pay of the Officers has not been calculated,
owing to their rank bearing no proportion to
the number of Men they actually commanded;
whether they served distinctly & in conjunction
with any other troops or whether on sudden alarms or on regular tours of duty &c.
I enclose copy of letter from Mr Hodg-
don and of a return of equipments of Cavalry
forwarded to Savannah in Georgia.
I am Sir &c
