Title
Simmons Asking Benjamin Timothy to Provide the Particular Authority Under Which he Provided Printing for the War Department
Description
The Secretary of War provided Simmons with Timothy's account for printing done for the War Department, but before Simmons can remunerate Timothy, the authority on which the service was performed must be forwarded to Simmons. An oath must be attached which states that the prices in the accounts are what Timothy normally charges for the services that were rendered. This will lead to swift repayment.
