Sir
I received your letter of the 31st ulto including a Receipt, Pay, and Muster Rolle, which Shall be examined and the amount of the first be passed to your credit and the latter shall be transmitted by the first opportunity —
The reason of Lee and Henry being omitted on the last Pay rolle is They were returned on the Muster Rolle. unfit for Military Service. I therefore concluded that they were not intitled to pay.
If men are unfit for service it should be represented to the Secretary of Ware that they may be discharged — It is a general Rule in this Office that when a Soldier is confined in prison — or unfit for service he receives no Pay for the time, as it is understood that he is not enabled to perform his duty as a Soldier — and therefore should not receive Pay.
It is thought to be sufficient recompense, that the United States have been to support him during that time.
I am Sir &c —
