transcription
Previous to the request of your two letters on the subject of the pay of the short levees of the State of Connecticut, I had closed the accounts of the line for 1782 and completed the certificates for delivery--which has overcome [?] me together with an improbability of ascertaining them by the Muster Rolls or any evidence I [ill.]to issue to the agents the whole of the certificates of the line including these Levees-and have certain obligations from them to return their certificates into your office--I hope this method will answer every pupose you wish and effectively secure the state from any [ill.]--you will much oblige me, by forwarding a regimental list of the Number, state, names, from what time interest commended, and sum of the certificates which shall be so delivered to you. I am with respect and friendship your obedient servant.
