Accountants Office April 7. 1798 Sir I received your letter of the 3^d Inst. enclosing muster & Pay rolls of yourself and recruits for March last and also Receipts for Bounties paid by you; the former will undergo the necessary examination and the amount due thereon will be remitted so soon as Congress shall pass the law appropriating for the present year; the latter will be filed subject to a future examination on the settlement of your Recruiting account. I am sorry at the discontent of your Recruits for the want of their pay for the present year; they are not the only soldiers that are without their pay and they must be satisfied with it, till Congress pass the appropriations. I am &c W Simmons Acct. [Page 271 YPU01]
