Title
Double Rations for General Wilkinson
Description
Dexter confirms that he believes General Wilkinson was entitled to double rations between the date of General Washington's appointment of him in 1798 and the 14th of June 1800 because he had on the western frontier a separate command of a great portion of the Army.
