April 9. 1794
Sir:
I received Your letter of the 8 Ulto. encl. the duplicates Statement to General Wilkinson exhibiting the deficiency in the estimates of the Army Pay for 1795 which is laid before the Secretary of War who will take the necessary steps to have the Money forwarded as soon as possible. The Accounts and Bond of Capt Hartshorne as well as Your receipt to Charles Hyde for [undecipherable] have also come to hand —
I have again to request that you will transmit a statement of your account and the vouchers accompanying the same agreeably to the Instructions of Comptroller [undecipherable] in each Quarter, as I find much difficulty from the want of them. If you forwards your accounts Quarterly they might be sent by post, as they would not be so bulky as to require a person for that purpose.
I am &c
