Title
Lack of Pay for Soldiers, Etc.
Description
Among many other concerns, Kalteisen expresses his anxiety at not receiving any communications from General Knox, Hodgdon, or anyone else in the War Office. He has been most attentive in writing both by post and by vessel and has given the strictest attention to every particular. He notes that there have been many complaints by the soldiers about their not receiving their pay. He has been obliged to advance them one hundred dollars of his own money to prevent murmering and perhaps worse.
