Sir:

I had the honor to receive your Letter of the 31st of May last inclosing two Acts of Congress, one passed the 3d Novr., 1783, respecting the Certificates for arrears of pay due to the officers and Soldiers of the line of the late Army; The other passed 27th May, 1785, requesting the Legislature of the respective States to cause the service of the Agents to be examined and to make them an allowance, &c.

These Acts I will do myself the honor to lay before the General Assembly at their next meeting and communicate their Resolutions thereon to you.
