On perusing a letter just recd from Mr Sam Vincent, he mentions having received monies from you, which most probably, are those or the greatest part of them alluded to on the other side. Should this be the case you must transmit to this Office his receipts and any other Vouchers you may be possessed of, for expenditures made on account of monies received relative to the Western Expedition — the amount of which will be passed to your Credit accordingly.
