Sir!
I acknowledge the receipt of your Letter of the 17th Aug.t on the 16th inst when I promised more fully to answer it on a subsequent post day.
A decision on the unauthorized Militia Services I suppose will ultimately take place by Congress; nothing has been done in it since I last wrote you on the subject.
Your account Current has not yet been examined neither has Capt.n Tinsley's & Eaton's owing to the immediate press of Business preparing for the meeting of Congress, and which will continue for some time yet; as soon as possible they shall meet an examination and the result communicated to you.
A list of the dates of Inlistments of those men who you could not ascertain I have after a long search been unable to find, except Daniel Gaskell of Capt.n Mr Eaton's Co.y who inlisted with Lieut.t Cox 11th July 1794. To enable me to ascertain the others it will be necessary for you to send an account where they were inlisted & the Officers name who inlisted
