Title

Expenses of the Move to Washington

Description

Benjamin Stoddert finds that the estimates for the removal of William Simmons' office to Washington are higher than those for other offices. An advance of $800 will be made to Simmons for himself and $3878 for the gentlemen in his office, for which he is held accountable. Those with families should not receive more than $100 in excess of the amount due them.
