Title
Major Buell's Charge for Double Rations
Description
Hamilton states that Major Buell's charge for double rations is irregular since his post is part of the fortifications of Detroit and cannot be called a distinct post. This case is different from that of officers whose districts contain a number of independent fortresses. Col. Strong appears to be the one entitled to double rations. The excess that Maj. Buell has received should be charged against his future pay.
