“The Sheet of elucidations and the Vouchers, I retain to be sent by the first Vessel of War of The United States may return to America. I am very sensible that untill these be received the proper Officers cannot proceed to determine on the propriety of the Accounts I now transmit, but I could not for that reason Keep them any longer from being laid before you, for your information. I have the conscious satisfaction of Knowing that the Public money with which I have been entrusted has been expended with the strictest attention to the Interest of the Nation so far as my judgement has been able to guide me and that my sole pursuit has been to benefit the Service under my charge, to the utmost of my power.”
