Simmons Writes The Secretary of War About Additional Pay Requested by Captain Isaac Guion
Description
Captain Isaac Guion of the 3rd U.S. Regulars was called upon to act as Paymaster to the troops along the Mississippi. In this service he disbursed $63145.1. While no compensation was offered Captain Guion, he has claimed for his extra duty $660 in addition to his normal pay and benefits as an officer between the beginning of August 1797 and the end of May 1799. Simmons wishes Dexter to write back and inform Simmons of what part or whole of the sum Guion is charging is to be paid to him.
