I am now authorized to inform you that if such a settlement does not shortly take place directions will be given for stopping any further payments to you. Jam &o. Peter Hagner Princ^l Clk. Sir Accountants Office July 23. 1795 I have in the absence of the Accountant to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 15^th with its accompaniments — on the accounts paid I have to make the following observations. Lieut. a Richard Butlers Account. If this account had been presented at this office The officer would have been obliged to produce a certificate from the Pay Master shewing the date he was last paid to, and if he had omitted getting one — he would then have been required to attest to his account before a magistrate — The Contract price of rations at Greenville is but 22 ⅔ cents and you have allowed 24 ⅔. Ephraim Nient. — When a soldier applies for any arrears of pay he should be mustered and made up in the pay roll of the Detachment to which he belongs and a remark made opposite his name of the circumstances relative thereto. Jacob Beam: Why is his pay not made up for November and December — if he has been paid on any roll for those months he should have been made up for the whole amount due him. — The account should have been certified by his Commanding Officer who had a knowledge of the amount of pay due him. This would have been required had the accounts been settled here. John Taylor Serg^t. It has been an uniform rule here in the settlement of accounts of this nature not to allow any soldier the premium for apprehending a Deserter if his expenses have been paid by the Public, either the Premium or the Expenses are deducted as the man is receiving pay
