[Mess^rs S Dallas Esqrⁿ] Accountants Office late P.M. to the Pennsylvania Militia October 16^th 1797 Sir In an abstract of monies advanced by Presley Nevill Paymaster General to the Militia called out to suppress an insurrection in the western counties of Pennsylvania, in the year 1794 you stand charged with different sums of money paid to you being for of the Pennsylvania Militia employed in said expedition, and as no vouchers have been hitherto transmitted to this Office to exonerate you from those charges, I have to request your immediate attention in rendering such as you actually posses, or can shortly obtain, properly stated, and in case of deficiency to refund the balance remaining unaccounted for in your hands to the Treasurer of the United States. I am under the necessity to be the more urgent in requesting your immediate attention to this object in consequence of a resolution of Congress of the 5^th March last directing me to furnish an abstract by the first week in January next of the names of all the receivers of public monies unaccounted for. In rendering your accounts you will please to be very particular in stating an account current, charging the monies received, and crediting the expenditures, agreeably to the Pay Rolls and accounts you were furnished with; also filing the receipts with the accounts, with corresponding numbers which are to accompany the account current. A list of the sums remaining unpaid, accounting for any balance in your hands unappropriated is also to be furnished.
