He has been asked to turn in his accounts with the public; Scott sent quarterly returns of all warrants drawn by Leslie to the secretary of Sir Henry Clinton or Sir Guy Carleton; asks him to inquire if they have not given in those lists, and to explain the business to the Board; he came home in a packet and left his baggage and papers at New York in charge of Brook Watson; his present situation is very happy as his appointment enables him to live decently, and he has a charming daughter.
