Title
Simmons Requesting Crafts Provide Evidence that His Expenditures were On Account of the War Department
Description
The Auditor of the Treasury transmitted Craft's accounts to Simmons and noted that the accounts and vouchers Crafts provided indicated that they were made on account of the War Department by the Collector of the port of Charleston. Simmons states that there is no evidence that these expenditures were made on account of the War Department, and therefore are given back to Crafts for investigation and, if the accounts are indeed accurate, payment.
