Title

Requires Signed Receipt to Pay Money Due

Description

It is not proper to remit the small sum requested because no one is authorized to sign the receipt, unless he has a friend there who can sign. In that case, the money will be paid to his order. If no one else volunteers, the assigned member of Congress from his district can sign the receipt and pick up the money. At any rate, Hodgdon will pay the money as soon as he can get a receipt.
