Sir
I received your letter of the 16th Inst. I have given directions & forwarded a List of Claims to be paid by Lt Freeman of sundry men of the Corps. — They are those brought forward by Col.t Montges; many of them I have found just, others have nothing due. A particular List of them is forwarded to Mr Freeman to guide him in his payments.
I return to you the Claim of William Hill who was taken prisoner by the Indians, you will see by the remarks that he had nothing due him
I am &c.
