Title

Settling Warner's Account

Description

Enclosed copies of Warner's rolls and accounts for the pay of his company of seaman for the year 1776. Warner has applied for additional pay but he has not yet made it sufficiently clear that the company is entitled to it. He must provide documentation that this pay was actually paid to his men before his account can be settled.
