Sir
I wrote you the 8th April last, duplicate of which is annexed, as I have never heard from you on the subject of your unsettled accounts, I have to repeat my solicitations for a settlement, you must be aware of my situation in the business, that if the money is not accounted for shortly, the legal mode must be pursued, to prevent this, I hope you will forward your Account and Vouchers to this Office to enable an examination to take place. — I am &c.
