Sir
You stand charged on the books of this office with considerable sums of money for which you are held accountable for the due application thereof. The length of time since you received them makes it necessary that an immediate settlement should take place, you are therefore requested to forward your account and vouchers and if any balance remains in your hands to refund the same to the Receiver of the United States without delay that I may be enabled to balance your accounts here.
Respectfully
Yours &c
