Sir,
I have to acknowledge the R[undecipherable]
of your letter of the 21st Ult. enclosing the Receipt of
Augusta De Grasse for 230 Dollars which Sum ha[s]
been passed to your Credit.
In answer to that part of your letter which relates to
the Commission, I have to inform you that your
Account Current with the War Department has been
transmitted to this Office from the Treasury in order
that such Sums as now proper to be settled at this
Office might be selected therefrom. But as no other
but your Commission on receiving & paying Monies from
this Dept are to be settled at this Office, I have to
request that you would state a separate Account
thereof to the end of the present [strikethrough: year]
Quarter
and transmit
the Same to this Office, when the Amount will be
remitted to you, & in future I would recommend
that you forward your Acct quarterly or half yearly
(as may be most convenient) to this Office & the amt.
of your Commission will be remitted to you. This
being the custom with other Supervisors, the object
is to be uniform in the Settlement of those Accts —
