Colonel John Ashe.
I received yours of the 16th Instant this morning by your son and agreeable to your desire herewith transmit you a Warrant for £142 9 0 the amount of the pay of the Officers and Men of your Regiment assembled last February to oppose the Insurgents.
I am well pleased to hear that your Companies are Complete and that you are in so much forwardness for marching; you will be joined by many other Detachments the 30th Instant at Colonel Bryan's.
If your Intelligence be true respecting Husbands it is very probable
