Full Description:
Balfour to Clinton. Charlestown. Being unable to communicate with Cornwallis has felt it necessary at Montagu's request, to furnish his corps with one muster's pay and some clothing from the provincial stores. Will transmit the account to Dalling. Hopes someone may be appointed to audit the public accounts, and requests some rule may be made for compensating proprietors of houses occupied by the government. Refers him to Captain MacMahon for particulars. Lieutenant Sutherland has gone with Cornwallis's army, the directions that he should return to New York being lost in the dispatch vessel.
