Pittsburgh Sir Your letter dated Pittsburgh 17^th instant has been received, I was some what surprised on finding it was not accompanied by the Receipts for bounty paid your men agreeably to a pointed Request in my letter to you of the 25^th Ulto the Receipt whereof you have acknowledged for you must be convinced of the impossibility of a Settlement taking place before they are produced. Since my last to you, a Muster Roll has been found whereon Risley, King & Helmick appear mustered; I have again to Request that you will comply with my Wishes as Manifested in my letter of the 25^th Ulto: with all convenient Speed! — I am Sir &c William Simmons
