[James McHenry Esquire
Secretary of War
Philadelphia]
Dear Sir Baltimore 4 Jany 1799
I find by your letter to me of the 29 Ulto, and one to Mr Courtenay of the same date, that you have a bad memory & pay little attention to your private concerns, for otherwise you could not have forgot, the two last dividends of the Maryland Insurance Company.
It appears by your letters that you have entirely forgot the former dividend; notwithstanding Mr Courtenay, St Lundes, & myself wrote you on the subject
I presume you have also forgot the 1000 Dollars refunded to me on acct of my advances for indorsement
