Title
Fraud by the Indian Agents
Description
Oliver Wolcott, Jr., Secretary of Treasury, expresses his concern that Indian agents may be charging for double the amount of supplies than what is actually delivered. If this is true, it amounts to a fraud destructive of all confidence in those who have completed these transactions. David Henley has been directed to conduct an investigation and John McNairy is told to cooperate.
