Commissioners Office
June 2d 1800
[Caleb Clown Esq?
P.M.S.]
Sir
Referring to my letter of the 30th Ulto wherein I reported to you such requisitions of Officers upon the Contractors as appeared to me from their impropriety I anothe[r] oge? nature would be proper for you to stop from their pay & emoluments. In addition thereto I think it my duty to report to you that the accounts transmitted were states from the Contractors are now in this Office, and that altho I believe there will be many others of like nature, yet as the contractors for the States to the Eastward of New Jersey have not furnished their accts subsequent to the 31 February and as no accounts of the current Year have been traced from either I cannot of course say to what extent the Officers may be charged.
Major Adams informs me that the Officers of the [Pennsy?] Brigades at Scotch plains have uniformly continued to draw their foragt in kind from the Contractor or his Agents up to the present hour, and those whom I have reported to you are allowed were only up to the 31 March.
These observations will serve to show that many other charges will have to be made against the Officers of the 12 additional Regiments & which of course never before reported to you for want of the Contractors accts.
