Dear Sir,

I have been here Since the first of last month trying to procure [deleted: a Settlement] payment on claims due me from the United States, a part as Contract on of the Army formerly stationed in the Cherokee nationon which payment had been delayed in Consequence of the A A Quartermaster having failed to annex to his return the proper certificate. I presume the objection will be removed and payment made some time in next month on the right of which the money due you from me individually will be remited [remitted] the balance due for goods purchased for the other stores I have written home instructing it to be remitted as soon as possible I expect to need more cloth on my return

yours & c [et cetera]
