I have obtained a copy of the Account of Dr Goived as settled by the State of Virginia for the depreciation on his pay & do myself the Honor to enclose it — the Account presented to the Committee was stated at the Treasury merely with a View to close the Doctors Account in the Books of the Hospital department.
The View of Dr Goived has no further claim on the United States unless it is the Specie Value of the $2350 charged by the State, received in March 1779 as Pay Master to the 3d Virga Regt.
