Claims that Knox owes General Thomas Mifflin, former Quartermaster General, money for clothing. Anspach claims he can assist in rectifying the discrepancy. Apologizes for taking the liberty of tending to the account without Knox's prior approval, noting "... consider the difficulty that may very probably occur to you should you be oblig'd to settle the accot. with Genl. Mifflin or any of his Assts in my absence." Contains a note on page two signed by [J. W. Buckley?]: "I should be glad your [sic] empower the same person to settle Colo. Moylans Acct. I shall attend for that purpose at the same office." |
