Simmons Writing Dayton on Suspended Charges in Dayton's Account
Description
Simmons received Dayton's letter of the 8th which has a sheet of explanations regarding suspended charges in his account, and is replying to deal with objections Dayton has. Simmons' response contains the accounts of B Yard[?] for the rent of a house to Captain Freeman's Company, wood and transportation, and to Aaron Settle for keeping the houses and oxen. The sum total of these specific charges is 166 dollars and 62.5 cents, of which 150 dollars has not been certified. Simmons has written today to Colonel Smith regarding the original papers significant to Dayton's account.
