Circular letter written to Abeel, the Deputy Quartermaster General of the Continental Army, about changes in the quartermaster's department.

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).
