Title
Request for Instructions
Description
Vance is clearly frustrated by the lack of instruction he has received regarding the number of officers, etc. which are permitted on the muster rolls. He feels that is he is to perform his duties as described by the act of Congress, he cannot account for the various men who request payment for their duties.
