Circular letter written to Abeel, the Deputy Quartermaster General of the Continental Army, about changes in the quartermaster's department. Indicates that the arrangement of financial business by Congress makes it necessary for them (as well as the Treasury Board) to determine war costs. Orders Abeel to follow new, more stringent accounting standards involving the use of printed certificates to specify monies owed. Sends a copy of a congressional resolution (not included).
