Description
Money advanced to Westcoat by James Mott, Treasurer of New Jersey, for pay of a company in 1st New Jersey regiment commanded by Capt. Morris Bees called up to suppress an insurrection in the Western counties of Pennsylvania. The money that was issued on the order of John Dougherty, Paymaster to said regiment must be refunded to War Office since no vouchers were transmitted to Treasurer to exonerate Westcoat. Col. Nevill was furnished with corrections to attend to final settlement of said expedition. Neville will visit Office on the 15th by which time Simmons hoped vouchers will be furnished by Westcoat.
