Full Description:
[Captain John Smith] to Captain Spry. Secretary's Office, New York. Received his letter by Captain Callbeck. His Excellency does not consider the island of St John within his command and must refer him to the Board of Ordnance for payment of works of defence. Encloses an extract of a letter from Germain respecting the works to be constructed, as it shows his business is under control of that board. His vouchers and accounts transmitted here will be laid before Drummond, for as far back as 1779, and when returned with his certificate annexed, will it is hoped be finally settled.
