ppearing due is five thousand five hundred and sixty one dollars and ninety eight cents differing from that stated by M^r Pendleton one hundred and sixty Seven Dollars and fifty four cents ow=ing to Sundry deductions as will appear by the enclosed Statements. It may be necessary to mention that the above difference principally arises on account of those Claims for Services in 1793 and 1794 being Rejected: for it was understood that the last Settlement with the State of Virginias for the Pay &c of her Militia in the Protection of her frontiers included all claims of that nature to the latter end of the year 1794, and it would now be very improper to have to revise or reexamine that Settlement; which must be the case if charges are produced that Should have been brought for=ward, previous to that Settlement, many charges in that account although not properly authorized or vouched having been ad=mitted under the idea that it was to be a final Settlement up to the date above mentioned. It will be necessary that you draw an order for the amount now due, which will immediately be paid on your authorizing some person to pass his Receipt for the Same. — I am Sir &c William Simmons Department of War Accountants Office March 16^th 1796 Nicholas Fiske Esq.
