Paper No 1 is Michael Tyms account for the support of a Detachment of Troops composed of thirty two Men on their march from West Point to Niagara as certified by Lieutenant P. A. Deausy and which appears to be unpaid. Amount Dollars 318.61 Cts. No2 is James Peters account amounting to thirty Dollars for transportation of Baggage and Lime and is certified by Lieutenant Visscher ~~ No3 is a Certificate of Lieutenant Glen's for extra pay which he says ought to be allowed Six Boatmen for detention by the Officers while on their passage from Schenectady to Niagara at the rate of twenty four Pounds York Currency equal to Sixty Dollars ~ these appear to be the whole amount called for by the Documents produced and together make the Sum of Seven hundred and eight Dollars and sixty one Cents .. to this MrGlen adds the transportation of Clothing and the Lockages of the Falls, and their expense at the Carrying Place to make up the round Sum of Seven hundred and fifty Dollars for which he requests a warrant~
