DEAR SrR--In that portion of the yir-
glnia Militia, lately in the service of the
United States, aud particularly those un-
der the command OF Gen. Portcriield, who
have not received all the pay to which
they were entitled, there are many dispos-
ed to ascribe Qor want of information) the
delay OF payment, to the officers who
commanded them, either by not using the
necessary exer6ons to obtain pay, or hav-
ing obtained it, hold it for their own pur-
poses--and there are many persons who
encourage those suspicious. For the in
formation of the soldiers, and the persons
alluded to, and to shield from imputation
the reputation of innocent officers, you
Will Wi much obliged me by publishing two or
three times IN your paper, the following
correspondence between Robert Brent,
Esq. Pay Master of the United States
Army, and myself.
Accept, sir, the assurances Of my high
respect.
