Regarding the charging and passing of sums

Lieutenant John Lewis is charged with two sums that he received from Colonel Cadwallader that are now passed to the credit of Col. William Butler as part of a settlement between Cadwallader and Butler. If the recipient visits New York, he should bring the Certificates that were issued for Colonel Moylan's regiment since the amounts must be revised.
