Sir
I received our letters of 24th ulto. and in answer thereto inform you that a Certific= =cate from General Jackson of the date you told him you accepted your appointment is necessary, as the Pay of all Officers in the service in the United States is calculated from the date they accept their appoint, and not [word underlined]

I am Sir. Y.c
