on your Pay Roll to the 31^st Aug^t 1792 & amounts to One hundred & five Dollars. Your speedy answer is particularly requested. I am &c.

I am &c. W^m Simmons Acct Foreman Cheeseman Accountant's Office Superintendant of Stores Dec^r 14^th 1796 at Navy yard — New York Sir Nicholas Fish Esq^r Sup^t New York will pay you the sum of One hundred Dollars; being for your Compensation as Superintendant of Stores at Navy Yard, New York, from 1^st July to 30 Sep^t 1796 on giving him duplicate receipts therefor. I am &c. W^m Simmons Acct Caleb Swan Esq^r Accountant's Office P.M.G. — Detroit Dec^r 16^th 1796 Sir Agreeably to what I wrote to you on the 9^th inst. I now enclose you an Extract taken from the Warrant Book as well as a list of the Bills drawn by H. De Butts, part of which have been paid as will appear by the above extract, the remainder have not yet become due — Those Bills are entered to your debit on the Books of this Office. I hope ere this comes to hand you will have so far recovered your health as that you will be able to resume your situation as P.M. It is a long time since I have received any of your accounts. The necessity of them at this time is great from the frequent applications from Members of Congress & others for Information relative to the Army. I hope ere you leave that Country, you will collect the Accounts and Vouchers from such Officers as have monies to account for; — There will be a great difficulty in obtaining them after you leave there. — I think the most advisable plan would be to call on them immediately, and such who have unappropriated monies in their hands, that they forthwith settle their accounts & refund the Balance to you in the usual way. Your accounts are under Examination & will be continued until finished, if the other Business of the Office will admit of it — at any rate I will have them so arranged as to create as little difficulty as possible when you attend to the settlement of them. I am &c. W^m Simmons Acct Isaac Craig Esq^r Accountant's Office Pittsburg Dec^r 16^th 1796 Sir I rec^d your letter of the 2^d inst enclosing a Pay Roll of Capt Crawford's Company & on account of L^t Col^d Thomas Butler's for Pay & Forage, which have been examined & the amount passed to your credit. On the subject of the pay of the Scouts on the upper Posts of the Ohio, I have conversed with the Sec^y of War, & on account of the press of Business at present it cannot be attended to by this days post. By the next however, you may expect a remittance. — I would in the mean time observe, that it is a long time since you have forwarded a Statement of your Payments — you will prepare to forward one which will include all the payments in the present year
