Princeton, December 10, 1784.
Hunterdon county, Feb. 10, 1787.,
Mk. Collins,
AS I find I am advertised in your Gazette of
the 31st of January, as one of the debtors
to this Rate, I beg you will inform Mr.
Scawm You Neet and the publick, through
the fame channel, that I do not owe them a tingle
farthing.
I rue it is, that in the summer of 1776, I drew seve
ral thousand pounds from the treafmy or this Rate, in
confeguence of my being appointed quarter-mailer ge
neral, and afterwaids paymaster to a detachment 0^
about two thousand militia, on a tour of duty under Ge
neral Dickinson at Amboy. I paid those troops by the
ensuing autumn, and was ready for a fettlement,' but
the confufion occasioned by the enemy's breaking into
rhe Rate in the winter prevented it. By the time the
Brrilh troops left the Rate the depreciation be%n,
and increased with great rapidity for a number' of
years, though the money was continued a legal tender
until June, 1780, if I remember right. Knaves may
think one a fool ; but 1 presume no honest man will
blame me for not paying in the balance during those
years that the money w^s of so little value.' In the
year 1781, I was return'd a Member of AfTembly for
this county, and at one of the fittings of that session,
(I cannot recoiled which at prefers) my account was
fettled by the auditor, and 1 paid rttemtnee to Jehu
Stevens, jun. Elquire, the then treafufer, in th^ man
ner following, viz. I had in my bands' a, number of
certificates or orders upon the treafufer for my pay
'for attendance as a Member of the Al^rTlr, and
Council of Safely, • ^er :...i s ^.dlfo
foffi certifies . vaen redded by the
^uoumeu. lu liie £. 46 1 7 that I am credited with ;
and for the remaining eighty-three pounds two Riillir.gs
and fix-pence, that 1 am charged with in Mr. Collins's
paper, 1 then gave Mr. Stevens a government or sol
dier's note, as they are called, amounting to that sum;
which note 1 mafe no doubt Will be found, when the
matter comes to be properly examined ; and I think I
figged my name on the back, which will lead to a dis
covery of the mistake, as no doubt those notes are yet
in the trealury ; so that I do afluie you, Mr. Sca^ni
You Neet, 1 am no publick debtor, but cannot
fay with you that I am no publick creditor.
To my cost I can assure you that I am: For of fix
years interest due to me, on money I received for a
good farm fold in Feb. 1778, and put into the loan
office the May following, and which, when reduced
by the scale, does not now amount to half the real
value of the land, I have received but two, and those
were paid me both in paper money, the firft of which
was of very little value, being paid in continental mo
ney late in the year 1779. 1 have had my name en
tered upwards of a twelvemonth ago with the trea
surer, in hopes to have received before this a year'll
interest in haid money, directed by a law of this Rate
to be paid on loan-office certificates, but have not yet
received it, although I have repeatedly applied for
the purpose, owing, I am told, to the taxes not be
ing collected. I therefore with that the gentleman
who sent the auditor's return to the press would also
procure, and cause to be published, the names of
another set of delinquents, viz. Those who have not
paid in their taxes, Specially such as are two or three
taxes behind.—They are allo publick debtors, and it
is by them we are the greatest fuffereis—thofe defici
encies amount to an amazing sum. I was told rhe
other day, by one of the ablest men in 'I ewkefbu
ry, who at the fame time said he had not paid
his taxes, that his townlhip, although the least in
Hunterdon county, was twelve hundred pounds be
hind of their quotas. I am told by the collectors,
that it is generally the rich, and those that were
deemed difaffefted during the late war, that do not
pay; and that the poor, especially such as are
esteemed whigs, pay their taxes very well.
I can assure the gentleman who caused the auditor's
return to be publiflied, that should be proceed 10 pub
lish a lift of those delinquents I am freaking of, £
