[address leaf verso: Wm. J. Simmons Esqre / Philadelphia —]
West Point, Novr 20. 1795
Sir, Your favor of the 13th instant by Mr Crouch I received the day before yesterday, with the three thousand dollars he received to deliver to me. Duplicate receipts I gave him for the money. My last letter to you was dated the 1st instant. It accompanied vouchers to which letter I beg leave to refer you. Since then, all the time I could spare from public business indispensibly necessary to be instantly attended to, has been employed examining my vouchers a second time, for fear in the hurry of business there might have happened mistakes endorsing them, writing certificates on each of the duplicate receipts to be signed by the persons who received the several articles delivered here.
As soon as I finish writing the certificates I will get them signed, arrange the vouchers, make out an account of them, & forward them to you. I hope by the next post to send them to you. —
am, with respect, Sir,
Your most obedient
humble servant
Geo. Fleming.
