[Docket: James Bruff / [undecipherable] / ans'd 23 June] Niagara May 10. 1797 Sir. Enclosed with this are my muster & pay rolls for April, also a receipt roll for 138 dollars additional bounty paid recruits; which I will thank you to say in your next, is placed to my credit. As I have nothing to show for the vouchers already transmitted to your office; I think it [undecipherable] to retain such as I have no duplicates of until I have an opportunity in person to settle them; — this may perhaps be not full. — Those in my possession are for money expended in marching a detachment from Mud Island to West Point, incidental expenses on the rout to this place, pursuit of deserters, paid expresses, postage of letters, maintenance of a sick soldier 13 days at a tavern near Erie — charged with dispatches from General Wilkinson to me &c — Sam^d Gregory — was put under stoppages by the sentence of a general Court martial — to repay Gov^t Collins & M^r McGlillen for Store he had rob'd them of; as he directed before he was paid off; they expect to draw his pay — it allows only, what voucher will you require? I will thank you for a statement of my account as it stands on your books. With due respect I am Your obedient Servant [signature] The Accountant of the War department —
