Sir 

    I received this day yours of the 28th Ulto. enclos

your account up to the 30 June together with a draft in my favor on the Secretary of War for 3500 dollars which I presented for payment, but was refused as it was thought more proper to report the balance on your accounts, I therefore return you the draft. 

           All your former accounts have been

examined, you may therefore expect to hear of the result in a few days -- 

                                                                  I am & c W.S.
