But I had a desire to see M^r Jackson who is every day expected from Cumberland to know the grounds to the report that the Money was paid into M^r Allison's hands, which I certainly have heard. M^r Blount says he believes it was not – Your letter of the 27 January was received last Post enclosing an Abstract of pay due some men as by List presented by Col– Butler, This shall also be attended to. – The Waggons set off this day for Philadelphia and Herbert has your Brothers Box – as also a Box containing M^r Hillis' vouchers to amount fifty five thousand eight hundred dollars and ninety one Cents. I am Respectfully. Your Hum^ble Serv^t. David Henley William Simmons Esq^r.
