L^t Manning [undecipherable] Fort Bouyer Accountant's Office June 28 1799 Sir I have received your letter dated the 1^st & observe its contents. In consequence to your representations on the subject of the extra pay of 5^th Solomon, I have submitted the claim to the Secretary of War, & when his decision is had, you will be duly informed. As respects your pay as Quarter Master Commissary I have to observe that if you have been duly appointed Regimental Quarter Master agreeable to law, payment will be made therefor, through this Office, but that no bounty cannot be paid here, if you have received their appointments through the Quarter Master General, it is to him you should prefer your claim for compensation. The matter of pay rolls enclosed in your letter will be acted on and the amount forwarded as usual. Sam &c N. S.
