Title
Check an evil which may grow in magnitude.
Description
McHenry asks for Hamilton's opinion as to the regulations respecting fuel, straw, stationery, and horses furnished to officers. He believes that the number of horses allotted to each grade should be regulated because certain officers might have as many as six horses and feel entitled to public forage for all of them.
