Princeton Octr. 4th. 1783
To the Comptroller of the Treasury
The Committee appointed to settle the Accounts of Mr Silas Deane,
1 find it necessary to have an Account of the Sums chargd in the Banker Mr Grand's Accts as paid to him. You will therefore transmit the same to me as soon as may be. The Sum total will be sufficient. If you know of any other documents which may throw light on those Accounts, you will be so good as transmit them. If there are any Accts. in the treasury, of the Banker Solier, or of Thos. Morris, formerly commercial Agent, or of Penet & Gruel respecting Monies furnishd to the Commissioners Franklin, Deane & Lee, or any of them, on behalf of the U.S. I must request a Copy of them for the Committee.
I have the honor &c
