- neacede, until they shall produce their depositions in writing - this will make a great deal of trouble - Those borne on the rolls No. 29 and from 33 to 39 inclusive were attached to the posts whose garrisons were mustered by Ensign McCall, perssuant to the instructions of the Secretary of War to me - they were also Sworn. It was found conducive to the good of the Service that, spies should be thus attached to the posts - and as W. McCall found them there he thought in proper to muster them. it would have been better if they had an been mustered in this manner.

Pope to pay the detachment at Fort Gardon and Carr's Bluff out of the money arising from the stoppages to be made from the spies for rati-ons of provision and forage which have been found to them. The [undecipherable] on that estimate for Forts Carnes and Habersham have been returned, as they were not proper-ly made out.

I have before mentioned to you, in my letter of 27th of February, that, I have not changed my salary since the 10th of December 1793. I submit to you whether it would not be proper to remit me part, on the whole of this sum, as you will find upon cal-culation that, exclusively of the change of contingencies the United States will owe me a [undecipherable] balance-
