Sir
I understand the nature of your claim for the pay of these companies commanded by Ellas Habersham it (undecipherable) from your purchasing from the soldiers their pay which has been given them by the state in a (undecipherable) certificates and that a law of the state makes it ncessary in order that this should be considered as payment for confiscated property that I should pass the same through my office. Mr Wenat made an application to me for that purpose when I was in Georgia but an objection arose that the receipts of the men were not produced to prove the payment - If Mr Wenat will deliver these with the other originsl vouchers into your or any other persons hands with an order from these executive of the state to deliver the certificates. I will adjust the account and place the amount of the same to the editor of the state in the same manner as I have done the other advances made to the line but I cannot now consider this as the demand of an individual for the state having (undecipherable) its the resolutions of congress as they now stand will not admit of an alteration.
