Sir
I now transmit duplicates of my letters of 27th November and 8th [undecipherable: Inst.]— I have received your letter of 4th November with Estimates and Muster and pay rolls of the Militia and Scouts employed in Georgia in 1792 and part of the present year, which I have with your communications laid before the Secretary of War for his consideration — 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 or 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 Hodgdon and of a return of equipments of Cavalry forwarded to Savannah in Georgia.
I am Sir &c
