Title
Investigation into Missing Pay for Regiment
Description
Requested certificates of officers who knew and served with Captain Ballard and would verify his integrity. Believed in Ballard's strength of character but Pierce had to adhere to rules that required procuring as much evidence as possible. He is responsible for money that was advanced to him but no such notations appear in his records, Ballard is therefore accountable for that money.
