[amount of Abstract of Pay & Rations of Militia in 1790 .... 2750 ⁴⁷/₁₀₀] Rufus Putnam Esq.^r Accountants Office Marietta Sir! Your certificate lately forwarded by Coll.^o Sproat concernes the pay of certain Militia of Washington County for services in the year 1790 for which a Mr. Blair received the money at this Office — I presume Coll.^o Sproat has fully informed you the circumstances relative thereto; I shall therefore merely inform you that the Certificate above mentioned was referred to the Sec.^y of Treasury & War Departments who are of opinion that it is not so full as that the amount can be passed to Coll.^o Sproat's Credit — in consequence of which they directed me to make out Copies of the pay and subsistence abstracts; on which the money was issued & forward them to you, that you might annex a certificate thereon fully setting forth the circumstances relative thereto — that each man whose name is therein mentioned has been fully settled with and paid by the Ohio Company for those services — that The United States [strikethrough: the United States] are accordingly indemnified by the said Company from any further claims therefor and such other circumstances as will tend to throw light on the subject; which have come within your knowledge and which you may be pleased to communicate — As the certificate is to answer as a voucher for the admission of a considerable sum of money to the Credit of Coll.^o Sproat, you are particularly requested to be as explicit as the nature of the case will admit of and transmit the same as early as convenient to this Office. I have the honor to be &c In absence of the Accountant P. Hagner Prin. Clk L.^t Coll.^o Stephen Rochefonlaine Accountants Office West Point New York August 6^th 1796 Sir!
