notable idea/issue
memo
pay
double pay
notable phrase
my pay as commissary Military Stores
my pay as QMG
per annum
thus it appears that my service in the double capacity and important stations of QMG and Commissary Military Stores will average at the rate f
pre annum
the present QMG receives
dollars per annum for his services under the single appointment of QMG
years continuance in office will consequently yield him nearly as much pay for his services in one department as I demand for mine in both for the same time
it is impossible this claim can be therefore unreasonable
