Knoxville November 7. 1798
Sir,
I enclose you the Abstracts of Payments made by the Agent for the Department of War, in the State of Tennessee; for Contingent Expenses, I also for Office Expence, up to the 30 June 1798. Amounting to Nine Thousand, three hundred [undecipherable] Dollars, and Sixty one and half Cents; — These Abstracts have been carefully taken from the Books; as also the Vouchers have been by me examined with the Abstracts, all of which I find [I] accurate, except for a few charges for which no voucher at the time could be obtained; but the charges in the Books appear to me to be proper —
I am
very Respectfully
Sir
your Most Obdt Servant
