Your letter of the 17th February
1795 to Mr Howell late Accountant — I have now be-
fore me, and have to inform you that he wrote to Mr
Swan the Paymaster of the Troops to stop the amount of
Major Winstons receipt from his pay, and send an or-
der in your favor for the amount as you will see by the
inclosed extract of the letter to Mr Swan — as soon as
information on that head arrives you shall be advised.

transmit a Copy of it together with the muster to this Office
at the expiration of every two months, when an examin-
ation will take place and the amount thereof transmit-
ed to you in the usual way; I therefore inclose you
some blank pay rolls for that purpose.
