Sending Money for the 8th and 9th Regiments

"The express was on the point of departure with money for the 8th & 9th Regiments when Major Bradley arrived here and informed me that Mr. Bent, Paymaster to Colonel Parker's regiment, was on the way to this place and would be here on Saturday evening which enduced me to suspend sending him as he would probably have missed the paymaster on the road and therefore in some measure defeated the objects of both for a few days. Money will be sent by him for the 9th at the same time I have offered Captain Williamson the deputy's appointment at your headquarters..."
