Sir
A Gentleman called on me a few days since and shew me a note form your relative to your business in Virginia, since which I have had the pleasure of receiving a letter from, Mr Pierce wherein he mentions that Doctor Bond has requested my attention to a claim of Doc David Gould. I find Gould is charged with £2500 received by him from the state as paymaster to the 2nd Virginia state Regiment in March 1771, and the same is deducted from his accounts, the ballance I have remitted to Doct Bond in bills of
209
of exchange on Philadelphia if he is not there with you inform Mr Williams of it. Immediately on the receipt of this letter I addressed a fuw lines to Mr Williams and sent him the extract that he might govern himself accordingly - Mr Pierce is of opinion that you are intitled to an extention of your pay but has not given me any orders respecting the (undecipherable) of the certificates I have wrote him on the subject and flatter myself of an answer in a fortnight.
Yours
Joseph Howell
