Mr. CLAYPOOLE, :
IN August, 1782, when Rationed at Carlisle in this
slate, my chest was robbed of a very confiderahle
sum of public money which h^d been drawn by me
in capacity of pa ymafler to the fifth Pennsylvania re
giment.
' What remained in my hands I apportioned as nearly
as possible to the officers of the regiment serving in
general Greene's army, to whom the chief part of
the money loft belonged, agreeable to the sum due
each, and transmitted the fame, (by the firft fafe con
veyance) to the senior officer of the regiment there,
requeuing him to pay it in that proportion and take
the officers receipts. :
.Although possessed of fufficient evidence, to convince
any man or body of men of the reality of the robbery,
yet as it might be in tiie power of malicious persons
to injure my charter, in the opinion of many, not
having an opportunity to fee my papers or be informed
of the circumfta'nces, and as (the war being now hap
pily terminated) I ap iabout to resume the character
of a citizen, and would wfh to leave the army with
as unsullied a repute tion as I entered it; I was induced
to apply to the commanding officer in this city for an
enquiry into my conduß on that score, the result of
which you tyill oblige me by making known to your
readers, by pub'ifning this and the orders of the com
mandant, on the occasion. I am, fir, your very
humble servant, ANDREW LYTLE; lieut.
