Simmons Discussing Henley's Accounts
Document 1800Simmons received Henley's letter of October 29th along with his waste book. He relates to Henley the situation regarding the fire in the War Department and states that it will take some time before he can get his papers in order. Simmons states that many vouchers and statements will be required from Henley in order to settle his account. No vouchers of the payments made to William Chandler have been forwarded to Simmons, and all the pay and muster rolls are necessary to settle his accounts. Anyone to whom Henley has provided advances must render their accounts to Henley for settlement, as well as deal with any remaining balances. A general statement of monies received and expended is desirable, but enumerating individual items is not necessary. Arranging expenditures under different heads and referring vouchers to these heads would be ideal. Reference to War Department fire.
