14^th November 1795 My Dear Sir I addressed a letter to you some time ago intimating that I had since an order on you in favour of M^r Grobb [undecipherable: O'Peardy?] for Twenty Pounds to be paid out of the Monies of September and October Pay — which Leaves a Ballance in my favour of [strikethrough: twenty] two Dollars — If that order is discharged you will much oblige me in forwarding the surplus directed to Nicholas [undecipherable] & joins me uncovering in these troubling you but as I have not heard a word from M^r Neardy or his Agent on the business you will confer a particular favour on me to drop me a line relative to it — With sentiments of Esteem they leave to remain Your M^t Hund. Serv^t. John H. Lynch L^t Corps of A 88— To W^m Simmons Esq^r [Postal notation: N. YORK NOV 16 / N.
