I am informed that the State of Virgiia has extended the depreciation of pay and rations to the Officers &c. of their line to 1 Jany 1782. in this instance for you will please to admit depreciation of pay no farther than the 1st. of Augt. 1780. as the accounts of the regiment to which Major Fauntleroy belonged have 117
