Dear Sir
Inclosed you will receive the charges of clothing and cash received by Cap Edmonds, Lieut Jno Hackley and Captain Mary Carrington Mr Swan has taken them from the original vouchers which I suppose will answer as well as a copy of the whole.
The charges against these officers for goods received of Colo Carrington are not noticed in Mr Dunscomb settlement the charges made by Mr Dunscomb to those officers are for different articles and a different amount. if therefore those officers have not accounted for to the state of Virginia for the same they are yet indebted for them as there appears to be no stoppage made by Mr Dart rom their subsistence or pay on account of those goods. I wrote to you yesterday and inclosed Col Temples account.
I am Sir
