I wrote you on the 27th June inclosing Muster & Pay Rolls up to the last of May. I now transmit you receipt Rolls and Receipts for the pay of Officers and Soldiers who were paid by Me, Should there be any irregularity, I hope you will make an allowance as it is the first — I have accompanied them with an account Current and stated the ballance that remains in my hands. The ballance taken from the receipt rolls will amount to twenty cents more than is stated in the Account Current which the receipt rolls for July, August & September amounting to three hundred and seventy eight Dollars fifty three Cents will specify; but the letter accompanying the same, from the former accountant mentions only three hundred and seventy eight dollars thirty three Cents, which was the amount of the money I received for the above mentioned three months, I did not suppose it of consequence, but as there appeared a difference in the ballances, I took the liberty to mention it. I have in possession duplicates of the receipt rolls and receipts inclosed, except Lieut Cox's receipt who refused to sign a duplicate, I have therefore kept the original, and have taken the liberty of inclosing you a Certified duplicate, which I hope will answer — John Smith had pay due from the 8th of Feby. to the 11th of June the day he was discharged, and paid by the direction of Maj. Freeman —. I will thank you to inform me when the bounty of fourteen dollars for recruits commences, — if from the 1st Jany 1795 agreeable to the raising of the soldiers pay, as the Act does not particularly specify —. I wait your information on this subject, and shall then transmit my recruiting Account.
