Sir
I received my account against the United States as stated admitted and signed by you but am surprized to find that I have received no consideration for forage as adjutant and Quarter Master, when there is an act of Congress expressly providing for it passed the 3 day of March 1795. I will consider it as a favour if you will take the trouble to inform me of the reason, why I cannot receive it, and if I am still continued on the Muster Rolls as Adj.t & Qr Master
I have the Honor to be with
