Your accounts which were suspended when you was here on account of a want of vouchers still remains in the same situation notwithstanding your promise to forward them on your arrival at the army, they have never come to hand, as it is a desirable thing to have those accounts of so long standing settled and entered on the Books of this office, I have again to request you will loose no time in forwarding the vouchers or refund the Balance standing against you to Caleb Swan, Pay Master General agreeably to the enclosed statement.

I am etc. Wm. Simmons Acct.
