| Date | 19 January 1783 |

| Document Type | Correspondence; Military document; Business and financial document |
| Content Description | Marked as a duplicate. Colonel Popkin defends himself against charges of fraud posed by men in Colonel Crane's regiment. Their accusations pertain to repayment of the soldiers and depreciation of currency. Popkin regrets that he cannot follow Knox's orders to go to camp, because he cannot afford traveling expenses. In closing, writes "...the Idea of being called to Camp at any time, but especially at this period, to answer to charges of fraud when, I believe, it will appear to every dispassionate person there is now existing, is exceedingly disagreeable."
