[Duplicate] C. Freeman's Account Current — N^o 12 — [Duplicate] Fort S^t Tammany, 1^st January 1797. Sir Enclosed is my Account Current N^o 12 and the vouchers. The troops have all been paid to the thirty first of August, and the detachments, at the lower posts, to the thirty first of October — Capt. Dickinson's company are all detached at Forts Pickering, Telfair & S^t Tammany as you will observe by the rolls: I have deducted his pay agreeable to the Sentence of a Court Martial, and when I shall receive your decision on his accounts I will make a Statement of the stoppages. — I have inserted the dates of enlistment of the men whose terms of service were unknown on Capt. Eaton's muster rolls, agreeably to your letter of the twenty third of September; if there should be any errors I will thank you to correct them. — I have not made any payments on account of subsistence: Unless the officers at Fort Fidius should wish to receive it in money, they have not drawn it from the Contractors; the ration has been so low that it has been impossible for the officers to supply themselves with provision. — M^r M^cCall has given me his duplicate receipts for the monies I have paid to him on estimates; as soon as we can obtain the rolls, his receipts will be taken on them in the usual manner and they shall be transmitted. From time to time I insert a note of the expenditures for contingencies; the vouchers I have not forwarded there kind of accounts can be best Settled personnally. Of the balance, I have in money on hand (including the Salary for M^r Whitney and a balance due to Lieut Dan Allen, which were sent to Fort 5.279.78 Fidius last July; the vouchers not returned) Five thousand, two hundred & seventy nine dollars and seventy 2.585.98 eight cents. the Sum of Two thousand, five hundred & 7.865.76 eighty five dollars and ninety eight cents are to be accounted for by my salary & expenses. You will be pleased to observe, Sir, that neither of these have been charged in any of my accounts since the tenth of December 1793 - nor is it my wish they should be. Some soldiers who have been mustered as nurses in the hospital, and have done hard duty last Summer, have applied to me for pay as such. I should have passed their accounts, but Col. Gaither objected: I am however of opinion that these men are justly entitled to the additional pay — Be pleased to Send me your decision. I propose, as I have before written to pay Col. Pope for the militia who have been authorized; which I should have done when last I was [undecipherable] had men ready. I have received a letter from him in which he informs me that he has made almost all the payments; I shall therefore soon have it in my power to Send you a Statement of his account. He has transmitted me another return of Rolls which he has receivied; enclosed is a copy thereof, these are authorized — Do not be alarmed there cannot be many more. I have received your favor of the eighteenth of November, and M^r Stevens has also informed me that he has received the money. The troops have been so [undecipherable] paid and my business in [undecipherable] ment and with Col. Pope in Savannah will detain me some time that. I shall not go immediately to Charleston, but you may rely upon my attention to this business as soon as possible. I expect I shall leave this post the next day after to morrow for Savannah, from whence I will write you again. I am with great esteem Sir Your humble Servant W^m Freeman [undecipherable] William Simmons Esq^r A.D.W. --- [Duplicate] N^o 12. 10^r The United States in Account Current with W^m Freeman, Agent for the War Department. 8^r Dr. C^ts 1796.
