Title
Claim for extra compensation; Doctor Brown
Description
Claim for extra compensation; $815 to Doctor Charles Brown for attendance on sick Indians, and for rent of a house to treat sick Indians, with an extra charge attending Indians during the Treaty of Greenville, as stated by agreements with Generals Wayne and Wilkinson. Simmons goes on to question whether the claim is sufficiently substantiated, especially since at the time Dr. Brown was on the military pay rolls.
