Title
Regarding surprise over charges against Bayard
Description
Expresses surprise that there is a large sum against him. Relates that he settled accounts with Colonel Wood. Suggests that rolls of Congress or Board of War may be location of papers regarding final settlement with Wood. If they were not properly lodged, then it is not Bayard's fault. Refers to other charge paid by John Pierce into the hands of Lieutenant Ross; money was paid by Ross agreeable to General Irvine's orders. Wants to get this matter settled soon. Expresses fear that if he dies, his estate would be involved and the innocent would suffer.
