After the repeated Remonstrances you have made to Congress on the Subject of Bills of Exchange the inclosed Resolution we are well aware, will need an Apology. We regret that you should have so much Trouble and be put upon so many Expedients in matters of this Kind, well knowing how delicate a Point it is to solicit further Advances after so many have already been made. Congress attending to your Letters & Representations has taken this Step with Reluctance But the present Crisis when not only the Preparations for a vigorous Campaign call for large Expenditures but the Expectation of a cooperating Force make great Additions necessary, has induced Them to risque the Sum mentioned. The Bills will not be drawn faster than indispensible Exigencies may require, and it is to be hoped that this mode of commanding Cash will not be again resorted to.

We are Sir Your obedt. Servants
