      August, 1764 (B).
      Reynolds for water carriage of 2,388 pounds of flour, at 3//. Maryland, Frederick County, to wit '* June 30, 1762. Sworn to by Thomas Cresap, gent, before Thomas Norris. Cferti* ficate with seal by John Darnall, clerk, that Thomas Norris "is one of his Lordships the Right Honorable the Lord Proprietory his Justices of the Peace" for Frederick County. Casjle Hill, September 30, 1760. Sir ; Your favor of ye 30th of August came to hand the other day. The contents thereof surprises me, I suppose, as much as Mrs. Hoops's answer did you. I shall not at present enter into the justness, or reasonableness, of the account, as I presume that is out of the question. You, I make no doubt, are sensible the money ought to have been paid by the Crown, and I should have thought your experience from the year 1755 would have convinced you that it was necessary to apply either before or at the time the Commissioners settled the accounts for the campaign of 1758, as no regard has been paid to any ac- counts that were not brought in before such settlements of any campaign were finished. As to your seeking justice in Virginia, I presume no Court, or jury, can be of opinion that I am to pay the debts due from the Crown which remain unpaid from the neglect of the creditors. Could I assist you I should with the greatest pleasure, but as I cannot, must leave you to take any method you may think Just and most likely to recover your due. I am, your most humble servant, (Signed) Thomas Walker. Col. Thomas Cresap, the Old Town, Maryland. James Heaton's receipt to Thomas Cresap, 21st March, 1756, £3.12.0.
