[page 23] Gen^l Jackson Esq^r Jno Webster Sir Accountants Office June 19 1799 I have just received your letter of the [undecipherable] enclosing the receipts of draft toward Williams of [undecipherable] dates one for $9 [undecipherable], the other for $0 [undecipherable], which will be entered to your credit on the Books of this Office— The same letter informs me that you expected when you formed a contract with William [undecipherable] for supplying the Armourers at Springfield that he was to receive 2 Rations & Grog for [undecipherable] & [undecipherable] ammunition on the [undecipherable] agreed, to which his accounts are now settled and a balance of $[undecipherable] reported in his favor, which [sum] will be transferred to you by the Treasurer of the United States, to be by you paid to the said [undecipherable] upon his giving you the necessary receipt— Sam^a [undecipherable] W. S. M^r James Morrison Lexington— Nov 21 1799 Sir I have received your letter dated the [undecipherable] with enclosure from John Edwards to you on the subject of the balance found due by him, I now enclose you the copy of a letter I wrote him on the 11 [undecipherable] on which I have found out the only [undecipherable] that will be sent by you: that no part of the vouchers to [undecipherable] to have been but can be admitted. You will of course be guided thereby, inform me as early as may be of he should refuse to pay the balance. [undecipherable] W. S.
