Title
Simmons is Unwilling to Settle Thomas Lewis' Account While Lewis Receives Salary Advances from David Henley
Description
Simmons has received the account of Thomas Lewis relating to his salary as a temporary Agent for the Cherokee Nation of Indians. Simmons has examined David Henley's accounts and found that Henley has been providing advances on Lewis' salary. As a result, Simmons feels it would be improper to attempt a settlement on Lewis' account and has suspended Lewis' salary until his accounts are settled vis-à-vis the advances he has received.
