Description

The accounts Hodgdon lodged in Harrison's department as late Quartermaster General have been examined but a statement has been prevented by the late derangement of the department. They will be taken up and adjusted as soon as more urgent business allows. Some corrections and alterations will be made but to no considerable amount.
