Title
Administrating compensation for officers
Description
Criticizes Col. Timothy Taylor's observations about officers and their accounts, arguing instead that officers need extra funds. States that it may be expedient to extend the powers of the Paymaster General to give officers compensation for extra services, pay them for traveling expenses, compensate them for apprehending deserters, and pay them for postage and stationary.
