" May, 664 " " 1414 " " 46 86-90

That said certificate also includes a charge for
$2000 old emissions, advanced him in August, 1777,
which at 238 per cent are equal to 840 30-90
That he is also chargeable with the following
sums, viz.
Received from Silas Deane, in France, on the 22d
of November, 1776, as appears per receipt annexed
to his agreement with said Deane, 6000 livres, at
5 livres and 5 sols per dollar, are equal to 1,142 79-90
Six thousand livres paid him in bills of exchange,
agreeable to a resolve of Congress of September
14, 1777, at 5 livres 8 sols per dollar, equal to 1,171 10-90
That on this account, there appears a balance of
two thousand four hundred and thirtythree dollars
and 61-90 due to the estate of the Baron de Kalb 2,433 61-90
------------
$6,111 10-90
Exclusive of the sums carried to the Baron's debit in the foregoing
state, he is charged in the Paymaster General's books with the
following, in old emissions, viz.
November 17th, 1777. Fifty dollars paid for transporting his baggage.
If he was in actual service at the time, and in such a situation as
rendered extra means necessary for this purpose, I am of opinion that
he ought not to be charged with this sum.
May, 1780. Two hundred and twentysix thousand dollars, said to be for
the purpose of defraying the expenses of the Maryland line, on their
march to the southward, or for defraying the deficiencies of clothing
due to the Maryland line. To oppose to this charge there is nothing
yet produced. I therefore submit to consideration, the propriety of
admitting to the credit of his estate the balance, which appeals due
on account of his pay, as per the foregoing adjustment.
