included in a general Return signed by Major [Dareling?], and as it is lengthy & contains all the issues made to the Troops under his command I have thought it unnecessary to send you copies of them- as the letter of the accountant directed to you at Oxford I include you. If it shall prove necessary to furnish copies of the Returns, it will be done on your signifying the same
I am &c.
