Title
Defects in the Supply System
Description
Discusses duties and salary of Ebenezer Stevens. States: "The necessity of a more adequate organization of our Departments of Military Supplies (to which adequate compensation is an essential idea) presses more and more upon my conviction. The details of execution are extremely defective." Gives examples of defects in the supply system and concludes: "These are small samples of the continual succession of irregularities of which almost every new occurrence furnishes evidence."
