Sir,
To day, your two letters of the 21st and 26th ultimo was put into my hand, having by mistake been detained by the Secretary of War untill this time. I have seen the Comptroller & have had the matter of Major Craigs disbursements explained. His Account is made up to the 30th June 1795 inclusive; although receipts of a later date is therein admitted. He stands accountable to you for all monies received since the above date, as do all others, then or now in the Department. You may rest satisfied that I will attend to the business as occasion may require. I have debited your Account with Mr H. Harrisons Draft in favour of Colo Sargent for 800 Dollars; you will debit Harrison accordingly. I note what you say relative to the Quarter Master Stores. I have not seen the Return you mention to have sent to the Secretary of War & will in future write you again on the subject. Your Bills have been presented & honored previously;
