I wish, however, this account to be kept open until I can make settlement at you office.

Enclosed is a muster roll and a payroll for the hoop of Dragoons commanded by Capt. Randolph, authorized by the President of the United States for the year 1795. included in the estimate before mentioned _ is to be observed that, this hoop has been raised whom an establishment totally different from any heretofore. I refer you to mu letter to the Secretary of War of the 9th January 1795. in which was enclosed a copy of the governor's orders to Capt. Randolph. whether the pay will be allowed agreeably to there orders on to the act of the 2nd of January 1795 must be determined at the War Office, in either case I shall be obliged to you to lend the money as soon as the [undecipherable] shall have been examined. One horse has been killed by the Indians as prinster roll, for which the governor engaged one hundred dollars should be paid.

Col. Pope has delivered to me a statement of his account and the [undecipherable] which he has paid in full they are now enclosed. I also enclose the muster rolls for the spies you have heretofore required.

I propose to go to St. Mary's in few days in order to pay the hoops in that quarter. I have been expecting W. McCall would come to this place, but as there are but few verbalterms with the hoops Col. Gaither, has found is necessary to detain him. The regular hoops will except their pay for the three first months of the present year.
