Sir
In my transactions here with Mrs Lucas, Commissary of Pensioners, I find it is necessary that I should have a certificate form you that I am not in Debt to the United States, this, if you please you can readily issue upon examining Cols Henley's
and Colo Jackson's accounts or pursuing any other method which you practice in like cases - as it is uncertain whether I shall be at Boston in Massachusetts or at (undecipherable) you will oblige me by covering your certificate to Mr Lobell, Collector of the county of Suffolk or to Mr Lucas, Commissary of pensioners -
I have the honor to be late.
