Title
Account of Silas Dinsmoor, Temporary Agent to the Cherokee Nation of Indians
Description
Simmons indicates that Dinsmoor's claims for compensation are inadmissible. He bases this on the contention of the Secretary of War that if final settlements are allowed revision, there will be no end to settlements. Simmons closes by noting that it has been unfortunate that he has differed with the Secretary of War on accounts similar to the one under consideration.
