I received the Letter you did me the Honor of writing to me the 7th. inst., inclosing a Copy of an Order of Congress, with a Copy of a Letter to you from Mr. Secretary Livingston, informing me that you had in consequence drawn on me for £46196 19s., payable to your Order, the 12th. of April next. This is to acquaint you that I have accepted the said Bills, hoping to have, by that time, Funds in hand, for payment. But, as that is uncertain, I confide, that you will not hazard the Credit of Congress, by indorsing any of them to others, ’till you have heard from me, that I am likely to be in Cash, of which you shall be informed in the month of January next. I Have the Honor etc. signed
