Dear Sir

Colonel Temple requests that you will forward to me copies of his settlements made with the United States and also of the one he made with Pennsylvania, he has been charged he hears of making two settlements for the same time - (Undecipherable) Mayo Carrington denies the receipt of forty dollars he is charged with as having received the same from me. I wish to send me a copy of the voucher for this payment, the enclosed certificate and memorandum. I wish may be attended to Mr Flackley's complaint is, that he has been charged twice for the same (undecipherable) one of which stoppages has been made from his specie pay, it appears probable to me in that case that the stoppage made Mr Dunscomb was not so expected as to be understood and that therefore it was unknown whether it was the same clothing received form Col Carrington or not -

Cap Thomas Edmonds complains likewise

likewise that a stoppage for Col Carrington was made form him, which had been previously stopped by Mr Dunscomb, which he requests may be rectified. Captain Edmonds denies the receipt of the one hundred and twenty dollars charged to him as received from me, a copy of this voucher I wish I may be sent to me, these officers give me much trouble but I wish to satisfy them and that you would attend to their complaints ------

Winder has not been heard of ---

I am Dr Sr Yo
