Altho I have repeatedly requested Capt Price to settle his
Accounts he has never even answered my Letters nor forwarded
a single Voucher — and he has been in the vicinity of the Pay
Master for more two Years and never rendered an account
or Voucher for the expenditure of any part of the above Sum —
altho repeatedly called upon to do so — from these Circumstances
Sir I am led to give you this information conceiving it proper
that officers should be called to account for monies so long in their
hands — you no doubt see the propriety of directing —
Capt Price to render his Accounts for settlement to this Office,
without delay and he probably will pay that attention to your
letter which he has refused to mine
I am &c
