In answer to your Letter of the 10th Inst. received this morning, I have had the account you therein mention search'd for, and find only a rough sketch of your Account Current with the memorandum on the back "that the fair settlement had been taken by you to qualify"; as many of the Vouchers were insufficient, that account has not yet been returned—
Herewith you will receive a statement of your Account Current, balance due you Four Dollars & 24 Cents, which you will please examine, and if found free of error, qualify, and return to this Office, at the same time authorize some person to receive the Balance, that your account may be closed, expecting to hear from you shortly.
I am &c.
