New York April 12, 1787
Gentlemen
I do myself the honor to transmit to you the returns of specie yet due the Officers, Non Commissioned Officers and Privates of the late line of Virginia. The abstract A will shew the amount due to the Officers on accounts properly sworn to and the abstract B contains the amount due on sundry accounts not attested to for the years 1782 & 1783 -- this abstract has been made from the accounts of the individuals lodged in my Office -- and as the Officers of the line were stationed in these two years at different posts
277
posts in the southern department there is a probability that they have been supplied with rations for some part of this time from the public magazines. I have therefore been obliged to depend on the oath or certified account of the Officer for the justice of his claim.
