Title
Error in Balancing Accounts of Quartermaster Generals
Description
Hodgdon admits to having erred in declaring that all bills drawn on the deputies of John O'Hara, Quartermaster General of the Army, are chargeable to O'Hara prior to his resignation and after his resignation, such bills are charged to his successor, John Wilkins. However, it appears that bills number 1 - 11 are chargeable to Daniel Haragan.
