two thirds of one years pay: in his draft figures, Dearborn initially allowed $2,190 for the full year’s pay, $400 for instruments, $200 for outfit of provisions, and $210 for presents. He then recalculated to allow for a deferral of one-third of the pay and for larger amounts in the other categories, finally arriving at the figures shown above.
