Sir
I have to acknowledge the receipt of your letters of the 26th & 30th July last with the enclosures and also the receipt of the pay for this garrison for the months of May & June last, from the Supervisor.
Enclosed you will receive the Muster and Pay Rolls for the months of July and August last, and my Account Current N° 9 with the several vouchers leaving a balance in my hands of Dollars 123 40/100 which I hope you will find right.
Voucher N°s 3 & 4 in the Account Current are for expences incurred in apprehending &c a deserter. There was a balance of 15 [undecipherable] due in my hands for pay due him on the Jan.y Feb.y March and April Pay Rolls when he deserted — this sum I charged myself with in Account Current N° 8. and which I have now appropriated for apprehending him. The expences amounted to 19 Cents more than his pay which I will deduct from his next receipts
I am, Sir,
Your very humble Ser.t
