Title
Status of John Nicholson
Description
Simmons had been paying Nicholson's salary, assuming he had been properly appointed as an inspector. However, it turns out that Nicholson was not fulfilling that role, and Simmons hopes that Knox's letters will help clarify the matter. In the interim, no further payments will be made to Nicholson.
