Caleb Swan Esq^r Detroit Accountant's Office January 20.^th 1797 Sir On the other side you have duplicate of my last letter to you. I now enclose you an Extract taken from the Warrant Book from the 20^th Dec^r to this day for your government. I am &c W^m Simmons Acct S^t Col.^o Stephan Rochefontaine West Point New York Accountant's Office January 21^st 1797 Sir I received your letter of the 14^th Ins^t and agreeably to your request & the order of I^t Lynch his December Pay & Forage will be forwarded to Nicholas Fish with the Money for the Pay of the Corps for that Month as soon as Appropriations are made by Congress. The Accounts of the Soldiers will be examined and laid before the Administrators of Capt Gamble's Estate on the settlement with them. If from the documents they conceive themselves authorized to admit the Accounts, the money will be stopped for the use of the Soldiers — there would be no difficulty of the Due Bills were produced. But as it is I fear there is not a sufficient proof of the Debt. I am &c W^m Simmons Acct. Capt^t Richard S. Blackburn Fort Norfolk near Norfolk Virginia Accountant's Office January 20.^th 1797 Sir I received from the Secretary of War the Muster and Pay Roll of your Detachment to 31^st Dec^r 1796. On examination, I find those men that marched from West Point, have pay due for the month of October, unless they have received pay for that period from another quarter, of which you will be pleased to inform me. — You will also inform me the Company Benjamin Wells was transferred from, as he does not appear on the West Point Roll for the month of October. Lieut. Saunders has, through mistake, rec^d pay for the month of November twice: — his December pay will therefore be deducted to balance the over-drawing. I am &c W^m Simmons Acct^t John Chester Esq^r Sup^t — Weathersfield Connecticut Accountant's Office Jan.^y 23.^d 1797 Sir I rec^d your letter of the 17^th instant enclosing Capt^t Edward Miller's Receipt for One hundred twenty two Dollars & forty Cents, which sum will be entered to your Credit on the Books of this Office. I am &c W^m Simmons Acct Jonathan Jackson Esq^r Supervisor Massachusetts Accountant's Office Jan.^y 23.^d 1797 Sir I rec^d your letter of the 11^th inst. enclosing Caleb Gibbs Receipt for One hundred eighty seven Dollars & fifty Cents, which sum will be entered to your Credit on the Books of this Office. I am &c. W^m Simmons Acct
