Simmons Refuses to Pay a Sum Already Settled by Captain Reed
Description
Simmons informs Captain Reed of his receipt of Reeds account and sundry papers. Simmons returns the papers to Reed in this letter, remarking that Reed settled his accounts in Philadelphia on the 21st of April. However, Simmons makes note that Reed has made further chargesfor contingencies and amounting to $350.71that date to before he settled his accounts. Simmons feels that the vouchers Reed produced for him are effectively unsubstantiated and as such is not going to remunerate these further charges of Captain Reed.
