[at both for each foot & for each of the other 2 both^? ¼ this goes well please to pay proper attention—] [Sam R^y] [W. S.] David Henley, Esq^r D. W. D. Knoxville, Tennessee. Accountants Office. January 24, 1800 Sir, Applications having been made by Mr. Claiborne of Congress relative to the claims of the detachment of mounted infantry under the command of Brev^t Major L. Davidson from 19^th Nov^r to 20 January 1793, I have examined the files of this Office & ascertained whether payment had not been made through one of the agents in your quarter but now can be ascertained neither can I ascertain that the original musters & Pay rolls were ever here— That I may report correctly on the claims above I request that you endeavour, should they be in your possession the original musters & Pay rolls of that Detachment accompanied by your report as to the services rendered; and the authority ordering them into service— Should you not be possessed of those rolls it will be proper for you to any examination taking place that the claimants should produce them and the authority under which they were called out— I wish to be as expeditious in my report as possible. I have therefore to request that your attention to the objects mentioned will be as early as possible — Sam R^y W. S.
