[Duplicate] [C. Freeman's Letter 24 July 1798] [Duplicate] Savannah Rec^d July 1798. Sir, I have written three letters to you since [undecipherable] in this place — on the 8^th 22^nd and 26^th of last month — o 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^rs 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 Fauche and Randolph's rolls, I would complete the payments of the estimate — Lieu^t William L. 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 Lieut Harris's rolls soon. I shall have money remaining in my hands arising from the payments already made and now stopped to discharge the same. Col Pope waited in Town untill this morning in hopes that the rolls would arrive. as soon as they come to hand I shall go to Augusta. there 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 untill 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 office again — 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.
