George Washington to Alexander Boyd, November 18, 1755

[Fredericksburg, 18 November 1755]

To Mr Alexander Boyd, Paymaster to the Virginia Regiment.

I have had advice of Captain Hogg–€™s Company at Fort Dinwiddie mutinying for want of their pay; which must be attributed entirely to your neglect: as I gave you orders in my last, to go, or send to that Fort, with the money for that Company. 1 If you should not have sent it before this reaches you, you are to proceed immediately to that Fort, with two months–€™ pay. You are only to pay the effective men. &c.
