Your letter dated the 20th Insto, accompanied by the accounts & Vouchers therein mentioned were handed to me from the War Office. After examination a balance of five hundred & fifty four Dollars & 6/100 has been found due you—differing from your Stat[ement] one dollar & 6/100, the amount of a receipt forwarded & received [undecipherable]. The said sum you will receive from Saml. Meredith Treasurer of the United States, who will remit the amount, for which you will give duplicate rects – one of which to be forwarded to this Office—
Before I close this letter I beg leave to call your attention to that part of the articles remaining with you to be Shipped for this place, as the account must remain in part suspended from entry until the articles are recd here I beg your attention to having it done agreeably to your directions from the War Depart[ment] as early as convenient—

Sir I received this day yours of the 28th Instt. enclosing your account & vouchers for supplies to the Troops at Westminster Vermont, which you may expect to have examined as soon as the course of business will admitt—
All your accounts heretofore recd were Settled on the 29 Ulto & a balance of Drs 334.55 sent by the Treasurer to the Supervisor, Nathl Bush, to be by him paid to you of which you was then informed by letter— but with an error in the address (being directed to Bennington) which probably accounts for your not knowing it—
