Sir,
I have Received your favor of the 10th Instant, enclosing Capt. Priors Receipt for a Horse &c, I have also Received your Packet, addressed to the Quarter Master General, on opening of which I find a Packet said to contain five thousand dollars in Post Notes, accompanied by a letter, both of which shall be forwarded to Head Quarters, in Charge of Lieut Bond, who sets off tomorrow morning, he having been detained here to escort a Boat loaded with the last Stores that have come forward, this Season, together with some others provided here.
The Money viz 19000 dollars, Received by the two last Posts for the Quarter Master General; I have sent forward to him by Major Thomas Hughes, who set off wt his detachment on the 15th.
At parting wt Coll O'Hara at Legion Ville he told me he should write me from Wheeling, and enclose me Instructions, to draw on you for money, occasionally, but as the Army proceeded wt out halting, either night or day, he has not had an opportunity.
The Money left in my hands by him, is expended and several large accts, yet to pay and others daily accruing. I have therefore to Request you to inform the Secretary of War, of my situation, who will I am persuaded, Point out some mode of furnishing money.
