Accountants Office May 12^th 1797 Sir, When I wrote to you on the 27^th January last relative to the One thousand Dollars advanced to [undecipherable] Hoth by John Wilkins D.Q.M.G. I expected you would without the delay that has since taken place, attend to the contents thereof by complying with the mode pointed out by The Comptroller for transferring that Sum to the credit of the proper person. As this has not yet been done I again repeat my request, to enable me to Balance the accounts on the Books of this Office. I am Sir your mo^t ob^t serv^t Wm Simmons Samuel Hodgdon Esq^r Intendant of [Military] Stores [Docket: William Simmons / 12^th May 1797 / Impertinent] [Received from State Dep't. Nov. 24. 1894.
