Portsmouth N.H.
Sir
Since the receipt of our letter of the 19 Inst. application has been made to the Secretary of War for the account & vouchers you allude to, but could not obtain them as they were left in Philadelphia, consequently an examination cannot take place the Office is removed to Philadelphia again.
I am &c
