Includes a list of transactions and agrees to look further into the matter, though also writes that "if it should appear that the sum due by the Colonel in 1777 was appropriated by him to his private use, then his accounts will stand as I have already stated them, and leave him a debtor to the U States exclusive of the sum retained from him & the monies advanced by him to those officers who resigned previous to a settlement."
