Title
Request for Payment, Draft in favor of Joshua Coit
Description
Enclosed account that Watrous filled out more completely and submitted a second copy of accounts. Since Watrous was unable to obtain the price of rations at various locations at which rations were drawn, he saw the sum of money he drew in favor of Joshua Coit as sufficient to cover debts until Watrous meets with Simmons to settle all his accounts. Accounts inclosed.
