Dear Sir
In pursuance of your request of the 24th (undecipherable) I have inclosed a copy of Colo Temples account as settled here which I flatter myself will have the desire and effect. I know of no settlement made by him with the state of Pennysylvania Mr Nicholson has informed me that none of the officers of Moylan's Regiment that were from the state of Virginia had depreciation granted them by Pennysylvania and in his letter to me of the 22nd June 1786 he say. "I shall adhere to "your request concerning the non delivery of certificate "to officers of Moylan's Reg from Virginia and who "have not here tofore received them and once they came to
274
"to my hands none have unless by special information "from your office, the certificates were delivered to Mr Nicholson by the agents some time after I received the information of the officers being settled with by Virginia and as he was knowing to those settlements being made I am confident Colonel Temple could not have received more than his commutation unless a certificate for balance of subsistence to August 1780 which I believe I forgot to mention to Mr N that the state had allowed.
I shall tomorrow answer the other part of your letter and send the necessary certificates - no accomptant is yet appointed neither can I positively learn who will be. I am Yo J Howell Jr
