service a Memorandum of which I lodged with you on my
departure from Annapolis & whether I am charged & Colo
Richardson Credited for 660 dollars which were returned to
me by one of his Officers, which I think I made an Entry of in
the memorandum book lodged with you. my books &
papers being lodged back in the Country prevents my sending
my Acct in, but if I mistake not Richmond lodged a Copy with
the Council of Safety which was not Closed, as there were
some entries to be made against the State & some to their
Credit which he was not furnished with as my accots were left
in Philada on my return to Maryland last Winter, when I
marched to New York in the state service my pay was 80
dollars p month & I only recd 50 from the Continent does the
state make up the deficiency or do I loose it. I also owe the
state 35£ or 45£ I don't recollect which for a horse which I
purchas'd on the Expedition to the Eastern shore for Mr
Elliot my Quarter Master to discharge the duties of that
department which I took on my own risque & Credited the
State for the sum these & some other Charges & Credits may
not be in the Copy delivered in by Richmond but as soon as
I can have access to my papers will transmit my acct full and
shou'd be glad to be favour'd with the state acct against me
that a final settlement may be made — I have the Honor to be
with sincere reguard
Your very Obedt H ble Servt
