Sir

We enclose you herein a draft on Stephen Hopkins Esquire for 15,926 8/9 Dollars in your favour which you will find by the enclosed Copy we wrote him this date is the balance of Moneys which he drew for the use of the two frigates building at Providence more than was expended in building those Frigates. We expect this draft will be immediately paid and you will place the same to the Credit of this Committee. We are Sir [&c.]
