Dear Sir
I have made a statement of Major Fontleroy's account of pay and rations while prisoners a copy of which is enclosed if he can acocunt for the 3000 dollars rec? of (Undecipherable) J Caldwell (which I suppose was for the recruits service) a balance willthen be due him from the U States on the Contrary if he cannot the whole depreciation of pay will not be more than sufficient to make good the balance apparently against him.
I am yo J Howell Jr
