Pittsburgh 14th June 1799.
Sir
Your letter of the 7th instant is now before me I am making some progress in the business you have wrote upon And as Mr King is now assisting, the Returns &c shall be constantly attended to until they are compleated. I feel anxious to have that business settled — but is there a Necessity for suspending the settlement of my Commissary Accounts until the others are closed — Pray inform me in what manner Col: Stephens has had a settlement of his claim for services in the Ordnance department — I am in hopes it may facilitate a settlement of mine — I find that Capt. Henley who is now here, has had an Account similar to mine, lately settled by order of the Secretary of War — and therefore have hopes that by this time there may be leisure to attend to my Claim — Will you therefore once more be so obliging as to beg of him to decide on it —
The Pay Master General arrived here with the Military Chest on the 10th instant after a Passage of 44 days from Fort Washington and is so far advanced on his way to Philadelphia —
I am Sir,
Respectfully,
Your obedient Servant
