West Point, July 14, 1795.
Sir,
Colo Toursend has delivered to me one Hundred & thirty three dollars & 34 cents — he wishes to have this number of dollars paid to the Bank of Philadelphia on his account. If consistent with the rules of your office, I would thank you to pay it out of the 6000 dollars I requested yesterday to be forwarded to me for contingent expences. — I had to give Doct. Layston a single receipt for the two thousand six hundred & ninety nine dollars he delivered to me from you, as he would not, on account of the deficiency, receive duplicate receipts.
I am, Sir,
Your most obedient
Humble servant,
Geo. Fleming.
