[160] Mr George Fitzgerald West Point, Sir Accountants Office July 19. 1799 I have rec'd your letter of the 19 Inst enclosing receipt [ledger?] of your [undecipherable] for May last; the amount thereof accepted being $m 375.12 will be passed to your [undecipherable] on the Books of this Office. You have not mentioned the reasons by [which?] why you have not paid the several [undecipherable] which pay was remitted to you amounting to the sum of $d 19 [undecipherable]. [undecipherable] you will please to do against the name of each that I may make the proper entries on the Books of this Office. Inclosed you will receive your Receipt Rolls agreeably to your request. [signed] W. S. Capt. John McGlatherd Pay & C. B. Army July 19. 1799 Sir I have rec'd your letter of the 15 July Inst enclosing your account of Pay [undecipherable] for the Months of May, June and July, also an acc^t of 120 [undecipherable] Dollars expense while obtaining [undecipherable] several materials at New York — [undecipherable] for May & June. Your claim for expenses does not in my opinion [come?] within the regulations for extra allowances to Officers. I return you the same, as inadmissible; these regulations [copy of which is inclosed] [provide?] only for expenses to Officers who are [ordered?] from one Military Post to another and
