Signed by Martinon, who might be Nicholas Francis Martinon, an engineer assigned to work in North Carolina in 1794. Written from "Newbern," possibly New Bern, North Carolina. Discusses reimbursement for services and supplies due him for performing surveys. Apparently is not receiving payment from certain individuals and asks that Knox help him to obtain it. Reminds him that he and Colonel [Edward] Carrington paid for some of his transportation expenses and were reimbursed; argues that this reimbursement is no less just. Note at bottom indicates that Martinon sent his letter, in French, for translation to Mr. Leris of Baltimore; see French version at GLC02437.06626. Leris signs this as a translated copy.
