Sir
In addition to the accounts of Capt. George Fleming
heretofore transmitted, for the purchase of firewood for the Corps of Artillerists

and Engineers, West Point, I herewith enclose another account transmitted by him amounting to sixty two dollars and fifty nine cents together with sundry vouchers

selected from his accounts amounting in the whole to sixty four dollars and sixty two
cents both of which sums are deducted from his account in this office which I
conceive belongs to the quarter Master and Hospital Departments, therefore suppose

that they are to be settled in your office. I am Sir (decipherable)
