Boston August 2. 1796 Sir. I was very much dissapointed in not receiving my pay with Col. Claghorn and Capt^t Nichlcor, more especially when you observed to me in your letter of the 5^th Ulto. "I should have it remited to me as soon as a Supervisor was appointed for the district of Boston." I will take it kind if you will give orders for payment by the return post. I am Sir Your most humble Servant Calb Gibbs [paraph] Peter Hagner Esq. Accountants Office Department of War Philadelphia [@ Public Service] [BOSTON postal stamp] [Return address notation, written sideways:] Calb Gibbs / no 6.
