Title
Allowances to be Made to General McPherson
Description
McHenry directs Simmons to put the sundry expenses for Brigadier General McPherson on the public expense, and lists previous officers such as Washington and Major General Lee who had been given the same privilege. However, McHenry notes the "extraordinary" expenses McPherson has incurred for himself, family guards, or guests at taverns, and that these expenses should be put on McPherson's account.
