Simmons Corrects Gaither's Accounts Due the United States
Document 1800Simmons believes there to be a balance owed the United States in the amount of $3841.47, while Lt. Col. Gaither believes it to be $4322. Simmons states that the difference is likely from the lack of receipts for money paid by Gaither to sundry commissioned and non-commissioned officers. Simmons notes that the sums which had been deducted for contingency expenses are unauthorized by any law or regulations and thus cannot be credited back to Gaither. In addition to the amount of money already stated by Simmons, Gaither, as per Warrant No. 5234 issued by the Secretary of War, is also responsible for the payment of a bill of exchange worth an additional $1233.53; thus, the sum total due the United States from Gaither is $5075.
