Savannah, 26^th June 1798. Sir I have received a letter from Col^o. Pope — he will be here on the 5^th of next month — He has not any of the rolls included in the Estimate you have transmitted. I shall not therefore be able to do any thing with him. Capt. Faucherotts were sent by himself with a petition to Congress — Randolph's & Girardeau's must be [strikethrough: in your] office, or in my trunk — I have been Collins, Whorton & Vanchent here — Lieu^t Tappington & M^cGillis have been paid — the rest of the small rolls must also be in your office. I have heard that an appropriation has been made, by Congress, to discharge the militia rolls which were transmitted in December 1794, and about which there has been so much Trouble; if this should be the case, I request you will urge the Secretary of War to order me to Philadelphia to receive the money, as I shall want particular instructions from you relatively to them. I am with great esteem Sir Your most Obedient humble Servant Wm^s Freeman [undecipherable: C Alld?] William Simmons Esq^r. A. D. W. [FREE] [Addressed: William Simmons Esq^r / Accountant of the department of War / Philadelphia] [Notation upper right: Savannah [undecipherable] / [undecipherable] Freeman / July 11^th July]
