Sir
In order to close the unliquidated claims lodged in this office as soon as possible, I have taken up all those belonging to the Non Commiss Officers and Privates
Privates of the Virginia Line issued the respective balances due thereon and put the whole amount into the hands of Col Carrington to be lodged with you for the benefit of the proprietors.
It is necessary to observe that sundry men included in the number settled for, have drawn orders for their several balances in favour of Major Kirkpatrick and others-these orders in their present form are inadmissible or vouchers in this office, for the reasons set forth opposite to their names as following
Thomas Smith order in favour and Kirkpatrick witness (undecipherable) (undecipherable) should be acknowledged before a magistrate.
Jacob Shoemaker, order, name of witness wrote by me hand Jadock Robinson ditto ditto ditto Spencer Cooper ditto ditto ditto Joseph Coker ditto ditto ditto Daniel Carn ditto ditto ditto James Brooks ditto ditto ditto Nicholas Neil ditto ditto ditto
Jr Trotter order in favour of Maj Waggoner a copy attested by
Jno Mcdowell ditto ditto ditto Jno Crummery ditto Wm Reynolds copy ditto Bartlett Holmes ditto ditto ditto Wm Lyne
Alex
Alexander Scott order in favour Dal Broadhead proper Samuel Horton Ditto Ditto Jno Flavies proper
Jno Ayers account sent back he being a levey of Virginia cannot be settled with in this office.
I have to request you will give a receipt for the whole and if you on enquiry you find that the forementioned orders have been copied from genuine originals that have been lodged in Virginia or elsewhere your certificate of the same will under them sufficient in their present situation, for (undecipherable) others there are no orders lodge in this office - The specie pay due on these accounts for 1783 I reported to the Board of Treasury and will be included in the Virginia Line at large.
I am Sir Yo
