Sir
Since closing the foregoing letter, I have
received one from the Secretary of War in which he has decided
on that part of the Militia claim which I conceived expressly authorized
by the President of the United States, and has agreed
that the balance being 22,505 9/100 dollars he remitted to you
agreeably to an estimate I delivered to him_ Which you
have enclosed for your government_ This decision has come
too late to forward the Money by this post, but it shall be forwarded
to Mr. Stevens in Charleston - Subject to your Orders - by
the next Post- The claim for 82,573 Dollars will also be
decided on before long.
I am Sir &c.
