Title

Refund Required of Officers

Description

Major General Hamilton believes that the call upon officers to refund, as required by Col. Timothy Taylor, is a violent measure to which they will find it impractical to comply. The pecuniary embarassment occasioned by this action is injurious to the service and must be resolved by the Paymaster General.
