Cap^t Edw^d D. Turner Accountants Office Pittsburgh: February 3^d 1797 Sir I received your letter of the 27^th Ultimo On examination of the last settlement you made at this Office I find your Pay & Subsistence has been Paid to the 1^st of November 1796 consequently you were right in your recollection as to the time. I have directed any letters which remains in the Post Office for you to be forwarded to Pittsburgh there are none in this Department for you. The necessity of the money for the Army being converted to the Pay Master General must be well known to you - I therefore hope you will use every exertion in your power to effect it as early as possible - I am &c. W^m Simmons Acct.
