ALEXANDER MCCLEAN TO PRES. DICKINSON, 1783.

Philadelphia, March 13th, 1783. Enclosed is an Account of expences, in Addition to the Bill I laid before you. I take the liberty to inform you, that I was under the Necessity of defraying or assuming the Expence herein set forth, to prevent the business being intirely frustrated; as the Militia expected from this State could not be drawn out in time to answer the purpose; & the Virginia Troops being on the spot, We concluded to proceed with the Guard we were then possessed of; And as Coll Hays could not possibly overtake us, I kept the Troops from Virginia until their provisions were expended, & then discharged all that I could spare, giving them an Order to draw provisions at Beesons Town for their return home, which appeared reasonable to me, as they were detained longer than was necessary to supply the deficiency of our guard. I hope, therefore, that such expence as we may have charged on their acct, will be allowed, as it saved this State a very considerable expence, besides furthering the business, which must have been delayed until the Guard had arrived.—I was not so particular as to take Vouchers for the accounts now laid before you, which, if doubted, must remain unsettled; Notwithstanding, I have paid all but the Chain-bearer, and must pay him at my Return; And as the close of the Sessions is drawing nigh, I would be happy in having my accounts settled as soon as possible, having an immediate necessity for it.

Coll Hays will be able to give Council such further information as may be necessary; as also to shew to Council the expence that has attended it; & as the expences charged in his accounts against Virginia are very trifling, I Request they may be discharged by this State; for, in Justice, I think they ought to be, as they certainly saved this State of an expence, which must at least have been double --Viz.: that of drawing out the Militia and supporting them when there. As to my own wages, having met with divers disappointments, I rest in the breast of Council, and only charge the days in actual Service.

I am, Sir, with Regard, your most Obedient and very Humble Serv', ALEXANDER M'CLEAN.

N. B.-The Money Credited in my former aces' I settle with Coll. Hays.

Directed, John Dickinson, Esq, President.
