Request to Settle Account for Firewood for Col. Stevens on Governor's Island

Description

Examination of vouchers for firewood for Col. Stevens's troops on Governor's Island reveals a question about the amount received. Requests the opinion of the accountant, who will most likely need to communicate with the Quartermaster General. The money drawn by Col. Stevens does not go through the Quartermaster General, and the account should be settled by the accountant.
