A Document Signed, Albany, September 29, 1776, the text of which is in the hand of Varick. “I do hereby acknowledge to have received of Capt. Richard D. Varick the sum of five thousand dollars being so much money rec'd by him for my use in my Warrant dated the Eleventh instant & the further sum of ten thousand dollars being so much money rec'd as af'd [aforesaid] on the 28th Instant.”
