Dear Sir
Enoch Morgan late an officer of the Pens Line hath been prevented hitherto from receiving his depreciation until his account with the United States be settled he says you observed that the business rested with me. If you have no objections I will adjust it leaving him to settle his continental accounts afterwards. If you think any injury to the United States will follow. I wish not to do any thing prejudicial to their interests --
I am Sir yo
