167 Caleb Swan Esq T.c.K. P. Accountants' Office June 2 1800 Sir Referring to my letter of the 30th [undecipherable] wherein I reported to you such requisitions of Officers upon the Contractors as appeared to me from their improperly & unauthorized nature would be proper for you to stop from their pay & emoluments. In addition thereto I think it my duty to observe to you that the accounts transmitted were selected from the Contractors' accot. now in this office, and that altho I believed there will be many others of like nature - yet as the Contractors' for the States to the Eastward of New Jersey have not forwarded their accots. subsequent to the 28th February, and as no accounts of the current year have been received from either I cannot of counsel say to what extent the Officers many be chargable. Major [undecipherable] informs me that the Officers of the Union Brigade at Scotch Plains have uniformly continued to draw their forages in kind from the Contactor or his Agents, up to the present time, and those whom I have reported to you you will observe were only up to the 31 March___ These observations will serve to show that many other charges will have to be mde against the Officers of the 12 additional Regimenta & which I cannot now report to you for want of the Contactors' accot. I am [undecipherable] W. S. ________________________________________________________ Jon. Jackson Esq June 2 1800 Boston Sir The Treasurer of the United States will remit you the sum of five hundred seventy dollars & 26/100, being so much due Thomas Welsh, for medicines purchased & his medical services rendered
