Mentions that Richard Frothingham, field commissary, is going to Philadelphia to settle the accounts of his department. Remarks upon the inaccuracy of the accounts, "As there have been a considerable number of persons employed and often under circumstances of great hurry and embarrassment, the accounts of receipts & delivery cannot be supposed to be as accurate as a private merchant." Comments that Frothingham's character is "unimpeachable." Relays that Frothingham would like Lincoln's assistance with the matter.
