Title
Simmons Expresses Considerable Displeasure at Crocker's Lack of Diligence and Attention When Composing his Accounts
Description
Dodridge's accounts and vouchers for supplies to the troops in Charleston from June to August were received and credited to his account in the amount of $2114.33, against an outstanding sum of $3681.70, leaving a balance of $1567.37 for which Dodridge is still held accountable. Dodridge's accounts are shoddy and materially deficient and Simmons is vexed at the difficulties Dodridge's lack of diligence and attention has caused. Simmons lays out the particular method by which Dodridge needs to report his accounts in order to not cause further complications.
