I have referred it to the Pay master General for the purpose of giving the necessary direction to the Agent or Pay-master who may have the paying them — The information you require respecting the men listed by the late [undecipherable] Thompson you can get from [undecipherable: Shapeigh] who I am informed has all of the late [undecipherable] Thompson's papers — The alarm you had respecting the Warrant of [undecipherable] on [undecipherable] would be truly alarming to the letters, there was such a report here some time ago & I sent one of my [undecipherable] to the Treasury, to have it ascertained, and was informed it was not so but would be reissued as they were; should it have been otherwise or any difficulty in the apprehension, I should have taken the earliest opportunity to inform you. I received the Warrant on the power you forwarded to me, and shall take care to have those letters in time — Yours &c [signature]
