Your letter dated the 7<sup>th</sup> [undecipherable] accompanied by
 +
the accounts therein mentioned have this day come to hand. They
 +
will be examined in course & information of the result will be duly
 +
communicated to you. It may be proper in the mean time to
 +
inform you that Capt. Morris had been written to; to inform
 +
me of the authority on which extra pay has been allowed to
 +
soldiers; to a considerable amount of which I find you have made
 +
payments to George Sears. As no extra pay can be allowed
 +
in any shape in addition to what is pointed out by Law to
 +
soldiers; without the express authority of the the Secretary of War.
 +
I perceive a difficulty <sup>unless</sup> that authority has been, or can be
 +
obtained. I mention this circumstance as it struck me in
 +
looking over the accounts. I have not so fully perused them
 +
as to be able to state whether there are not more changes to
 +
which objections may arise on examination.
