Title
Joseph Howell discusses army accounts with the Board of Treasury
Description
Howell tells the Board of Treasury that General de Haas's account should not be settled until the officers to whom he advanced money have met their obligations to the United States.
Your commissioner conceives that it will prove injurious to the United States to exonerate the estate of General de Haas before those officers to whom he had advanced money have accounted for the same.
