Title
Settlement of Army Officer's Account
Description
Since Congress has foreclosed the settling of any claims for the period prior to August 1, 1786, the author is unable to settle the recipient's account; nor does there appear to be any other means by which the recipient can obtain the money which he claims is still due him.
