I have therefore to request that you will call on them for their Accounts and Vouchers & make a Settlement with them as frequent as circumstances of the case will admit and transmit the Accounts and Vouchers to this Office for revision [margin: J^no D'Shorts account forwarded by you & Memorandum of 29 Apr has also been received — — W^S—] I am &c W^m Simmons —
