As I form[ed] the Statement of his account upon the information co[ntai]ned in the Certificate first forwarded it is erroneous — I therein credited the foll. with his Pay &c for the months of July August Sept 1799 which appears by the last Certificate to have been paid by Mr Chandler, and I omitted charging him with the double Rations drawn by him for those Months. In consequence I have directed another Statement of his account by which there appears a Balance of Eight hundred & eighty dollars 51/100 due from him to The United States — A Copy of this statement I inclose you for your government, and I have directed Collo Butler either to refund you this amount or Stop drawing his Pay Forage until the account shall be balanced. I am Sir Your mo ob^t Ser^t Wm Simmons [Address: David Henley Esquire / a W D / Knoxville / Tennessee]
