In part: ""...I have delayed answering yours of the 14th July expecting to be able to give you some information respecting the expenditure of the money received from Baron de Kalb...More than that the Baron was known to have a large sum of money in his Hand for the purpose of marching the troops to the Southward, &...Capt. Marbury Quarter Master for the detachment, received part of it for...his department...I think from considering the circumstances of the Army that a small part of the money could have been expended..."".
