Request for Absence from Post
Description
Freeman had business in New England that required three months absence from his post. Colonel Rochefontaine supports Freeman's request, and Commandant promised to grant request. Freeman requested payment to troops be made after his departure due to the degree of intoxication that occurs after they receive their pay.
Freeman updated Simmons on account information, pay and subsistance, vouchers, and receipt of monies from Lieut William Wilson.
