Sir February 1st 1797
You stand charged in the Books of this Office with large sums of money paid you a long time since, the accounts you have rendered, are in so deranged a state for want of Vouchers, that a number of the charges cannot be admitted. I request therefore that you will if you are in possession of any Vouchers forward them to this Office, to enable me to make a final settlement of your accounts, this measure is the more necessary from the great length of time that the money has been in your hands. your early attention thereto is particularly requested —
I am &c.
