Title
Holding Officers Accountable
Description
Simmons expresses concern about the settlement of the accounts of officers who have left the service or have settled their accounts and obtained full credit for their subsistence and forage without deducting the public provisions and forage received by them. Simmons wants McHenry to direct these officers to furnish a return so that he can hold them accountable and save the public from loss.
