Sir
I rec.d your Letter of the 20th ulto requesting that the Balance of your Ac. might be paid to Mess.rs George & Edward Thompson, which has accordingly been complied with; — the amount thereof, for your pay, Subsistence & Forage & for subsisting your Waiter to the 30th Sep.t 96, being One hundred thirty three Dollars 60/100
Your pay as Adjutant & Quarter Master is not included in the above balance, as no Muster Rolls have yet come forward to give the necessary information on that head. — Capt. Van Rensselaer has not resigned: — he lately settled his Ac. at this Office & has had his furlough prolonged.

Sir
Your pay and Muster Roll to the 31st August has been under examination, and the amount found due thereon being 532 2/100 Drs. will be remitted as usual to Edward Carrington Supervisor at Richmond, to whom you will give your duplicate Receipts, holding yourself accountable for the due application thereof. The inclosed Receipt Roll will account for the differences which arose on examination, which you will return to this Office when you have paid your men and obtained the signatures thereto, to be passed to your Credit. The pay of Christian Goode was deducted from your former pay Rolls, being returned by you, absent without leave; which in all cases are treated as deserters and their pay forfeited accordingly. —
You have more sergeants than the Law will allow, notwithstanding; the whole have been allowed pay as sergeants on this settlement, it cannot be done in future. You will therefore arrange them in such manner as to have only the number authorized by Law in the next pay Roll — I sometime since wrote you to forward the enlistments which ought to have accompanied your recruiting account; — they have not yet arrived, and consequently cannot proceed with the examination of your accounts
