[Savanna 31 July 1798 Constant Freeman rec'd 22^d August [undecipherable]] Savannah 31^st July 1798 [Sir?] Enclosed is a duplicate of my letter to you of the 21^st instant and copies of the same two [letters?] which I transmitted to you in [undecipherable] sailed from this port on the 8^th — I have been most anxiously awaiting letters from you in answer to mine of the 8^th 22^nd & 26^th of last month — a duplicate of the one Sent by the Sloop John Cap^t. Morgan, [undecipherable: agreeable?] to your desire in your letter of the [10^th?] [undecipherable] in order that you might know that I had here all the rolls mentioned in the estimate for militia [undecipherable] — the two last letters were sent by the [undecipherable] Charlotte via New York — I am [undecipherable] not received copies of Tauche & Randolph's [accounts?] while Colonel Pope was here, it would have saved me the trouble of a journey to [Augusta?] — a [undecipherable] line from you would have relieved my mind from the greatest anxiety. Ensign McCall and myself have [undecipherable] the militia [undecipherable] [undecipherable] to the [undecipherable] April — I have [undecipherable] to the different parts in [store?] to the 30^th of June. I must be able with the [undecipherable] abstracts [I?] received and the balance to [undecipherable] [undecipherable]. I [undecipherable] arrived, to [examine?] [undecipherable] the rolls [undecipherable] — I am now engaged in making an examination [undecipherable] [undecipherable] and [undecipherable] which will be to [undecipherable] our [undecipherable]. Adverting to mine to M^r. McGowan — [undecipherable] not [instruct?] that intention is made [undecipherable] [Whitney?] for his services you [mention?] the [militia?], & [for?] [undecipherable] the duty of paymaster to the regular [troops?] — I have given M^r. Whitney a certificate [undecipherable] to the [undecipherable] and have referred the case to the [letter?] of the Secretary of War to me of the [undecipherable] August 1793 [undecipherable] the Duty of paymaster [undecipherable] between the [boundaries?] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] of [charges?] and [undecipherable] [undecipherable] entering [undecipherable] [undecipherable] — [undecipherable] a payment to the [limit?] — I wrote M^r. Howell upon this subject on the [21^st?] [undecipherable] 179[?]. I have not [any?] satisfaction of this [payment?] — I cannot now [refer?] this letter as my papers are not here. I will thank you to [forward?] on [undecipherable] the enclosed letter — Accept of my [acknowledgments?] for the many favors you have conferred upon me — I am with great esteem — [Wm?] [undecipherable] Constant Freeman [undecipherable] [[undecipherable] on [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] July] [Duplicate] Savannah — [24^th] July 1798. Sir, I have written three letters to you since I returned in this place — on the 8^th 22^nd and 26^th of last month — I informed you that I had not all the rolls mentioned in the estimate you Transmitted. I have therefore been [waiting?] that I should receive certified copies from your office — but they have not come to hand — I suppose from the failure of the post. We have now four mails due — Col. Pope came to town on the 6^th instant, and he has received from me the amount of the enclosed vouchers which I request you will pass to my credit — You will be pleased to charge me with the Sum of Three thousand five hundred and Thirty five D^o. and fifty cents which I have received from him for deductions made from the pay of the [undecipherable] for rations of provision and forage which have been found to him by the United States — If I had Cap^t. Tauche and Randolph's rolls, I would complete the payments of the estimate — Lieu^t. William B. Stuart was paid by me in may 1796 — for which I have already received credit in the Settlement of my accounts — Lieu^ts. Sappington and McGillis were paid by M^r. Habersham on the 22^nd of March 1797. for which he has Transmitted vouchers. I expect I shall receive Lieu^t. Harris' rolls soon. I shall have money remaining in my hands arising from the payments already made and now stopped to discharge this [voucher?]. Col. Pope waited in Town until this morning in hopes that the rolls would arrive — as soon as they come to hand I shall go to Augusta — then he will meet me — I could not detain him any longer as his private business requires his attention — while he was here, I examined all his vouchers from his first entering into the office of paymaster untile the present payment, of which I have made a Statement — I will bring those papers with me when I shall be permitted to visit the War [Office?] — Ensign McCall arrived in Town last evening — we are now engaged in preparing the rolls — that payment may be made to the regular troops — I shall endeavour to complete this business in a few days. I am with great esteem Sir Your most obedient humble Servant Wm. Freeman [undecipherable] William Simmons Esq^r. A.D.W.
