M^r Jos: Williams Springfield 7 M^d. Sir Accountants Office April 22^d 1800 I have received your letter of the 17 Inst^t with your accounts for expenditures at the Armory for the Quarter ending 31 March last which will be placed under examination & you will be informed of the result. upon a cursory view of them I find that instead of crediting the precise amounts of the Warrants issued to Sam^l Hodgson's given [strikethrough: Agent] note which you are immediately charged in the Books of this Office; you have given credit for the Partial remittances made to you from time to time by him: which is irregular & what you will be careful to guard against in future. My letter of the 18 Inst^t to which I refer would inform you that your acct up to the 1^st of Jullast has been adjusted — Sam^l H. M^d. Samuel Hodgson Eg^r Ag^t of M. I.
