Your letter of 15. May have received notifying that the Treasurer of the United States would remit me the Sum of four hundred Dollars to be by me paid to Paul Hyacinthe Perrault, temporary Engineer — this Sum has not yet been transmitted me, — it is extra ordinary, as I have received the amount [strikethrough: undecipherable] Dollars to be paid Cant: Depasement for the purpose of mounting the Artillery at Charleston — I now write you, because Mr: Perrault has received a letter from you, with directions to call on me for the above Amount, — and because it is a hardship on him to be thus disappointed — Be so good as to make an inquiry into this business at the Treasury —
I am Sir
