Title
Simmons Requests that Dexter Decide on the Appointment, Pay and Emoluments of Doctor Genet
Description
On the accounts of Ebenezer Stevens there is a charge for pay, subsistence and forage for B. Genet, acting surgeon at the Fort Gay garrison from November 29th 1799 to July 1st 1800. Major General Hamilton apparently appointed Genet to take charge of this garrison and has since been mustered as such at the pay and emoluments of a surgeon's mate. Genet has forwarded a claim for his compensation from July 1st to the current date; Thus, Simmons requests that Dexter decide whether or not Genet's appointment by Hamilton is valid, as well as determine whether or not the pay and emoluments are to be continued for Dr. Genet for the period stated.
