April 2[—] Sir Your letter of the N[—] to the late Accountant I have this day received, you mention that you have not received the money [re-] -mitted from this Office. to John Chester Esq^o fo[r the] pay of yourself Ensign Peter Trothing[ham] and [to] the 28.^th of February 1793 incl. I think it Advis[e]d you to receive the money and pay it to such [of those] as are present and are entitled to receive it — [re-] -spect to the pay being made up for the men [th-] [tha]t was owing to the Remark not being properly made [on] the muster Roll — you remarked [undecipherable: opposite?] their names [th-] at they had not joined the rendezvous; therefore had[s] [no] Idea from that remark that they had Deserted.
