Ensign McCall and myself have [undecipherable] [with?] the [undecipherable] [proceeded?] to the 15^th April. I have been to the different [parts?] in [undecipherable] to the 30^th of June.

A.D.W. --- [Duplicate] [C. Freeman's Letter — 24^th July 1798] [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— & informed you that I had not all the rolls mentioned in the estimate you transmitted. I have therefore been [undecipherable] 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. and fifty cents which I have received from him for deductions made from the pay of the line for rations of provision and forage which have been found to him by the United States— If I had Cap^t [undecipherable: probable reading Janche] and Randolph's rolls, I would complete the payments of the estimate— Lieut. William P. Stuart was paid by me in May 1796 — for which I have already received credit in the Settlement of my accounts— Lieu^ts Seppington and M^cGillis were paid by M. 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 [undecipherable]. 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 until 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?] 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.
