Title
Discrepancy in Stevens's Firewood Account for Governor's Island
Description
Refers to Stevens's request for firewood for Governor's Island. Found a small mistake on the vouchers relative to the quantity of wood purchased, although the certificate states the correct complete amount. Believes that the accountant would demand changes in the accounts be made immediately with disbursement from the Quartermaster General. Disagrees; Stevens does not work through the Quartermaster General.
