Dear Sir
The Board of Treasury have just now sent me a letter for you that I might direct more particular - Mr. Nicholson Comptr desires to know if any thing is due to Capt. Zebulon Pike in this Office. On settlement of the Accounts of the 4th Regiment Dragoons five hundred dollars was retained from Captain Pike, since which he has received 200 Dollars so that it appears there is still two hundred dollars in Possession of the United States for accounts unsettled. I expect to be called on to day or to morrow by the Grand Jury of this City to assist in founding a charge against a fellow who was taken up with Mr. Pierce's Certificates in his possession counterfeited. Nothing of Consequence has occurred since you left us, two or three accounts presented and as many demands for Certificates -- Please to present my Respects to Mrs. Howell I am &c
