Sir
I have received your letter of the 11 last [undecipherable] enquires for the Widow of the late Dr Andrew McInyers who was killed at Germantown in 1777. In answer thereto I have to inform you that there is no arrearage due to his widow, at the time he was killed there was no want of Continental money & the army was generally received their pay monthly, if that was not the case with Capt McInyers it would now be too late to make application, the only claim his heirs could have was that for the Bounty of Lands on application to the War Office I know that the land Warrant was issued June 11 1783 for Mary McInyers Widow of the late Capt McInyers
