M^r Adrian Kemp Accountants Office late P.M. to the Virg^a. Militia October 17^th 1797 Sir, In an abstract of monies advanced by Presley Neville paymaster general to the militia called out to suppress an insurrection in the western counties of Pennsylvania in year 1794, you stand charged with monies received from him pursuant to warrants in your favor, for the pay of the Virginia and some New Jersey militia employed in said expedition, and as no vouchers have hitherto been transmitted to this Office to exonerate you from those advances, I have to request your immediate attention in rendering such as you possess, or can obtain in a short time, properly stated, and in case of deficiency to refund the balance unaccounted for in your hands, to the Treasurer of the United States. I am under the necessity of being more urgent on requesting your attention to this object in consequence of a Resolution of Congress of the 3^d March last directing me to furnish an abstract by the first week in January next of the names of the receivers of public monies unaccounted for. In rendering your accounts, you will be particular in stating an account current— charging the monies received and crediting the expenditures made, agreeably to the Pay 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 remaining in your hands unappropriated, is also to be furnished. Your particular attention is required to these several objects, as Col^o. Neville the P.M.G. has been furnished with directions to attend to the final settlement of all the accounts for that expedition; and is to attend on the 15^th November next for that purpose, before which time I flatter myself your accounts and vouchers will all be regularly furnished and examined in this Office and the amount paid by you passed
