Discussing Monies Owed and the Conduct of Mr. Ames

Simmons informs Byers that upon examination of his accounts for the armorers at Springfield during October, November, and December 1800, Byers is owed $95.94 by the United States. Byers apparently took issue with Mr. Ames regarding fuel for the armorers at Springfield, and noted this to Simmons. Simmons replies in this letter than any fact which may incriminate Ames should have been forwarded to the Secretary of War, as the power for investigating these grievances lies with him. Simmons requests that Byers remind Ames that if the armorers neglect to draw their fuel as it becomes due, they are from that point on prohibited from filing any legal claim regarding regulations of the War Department, which says that no compensation of any kind may be made for arrears of fuel.
