Petition of David Henley, 1812

 File — Box: 1, Folder: 38

Scope and Contents

Report of the secretary of War on the petition of David Henley. June 9, 1812. Read, and referred to a committee of the whole House on Thursday next. Washington [D.C.]: : A. and G. Way, printers. 1812. 8 p. Shaw 27348

Concerning the valuable and faithful service of David Henly as general agent for the territory south west of the Ohio weighed against a discrepancy of more than $12,000 in his accounts for which he had not presented legal vouchers. The report attributes this discrepancy to the failure of the government to appoint a permanent assistant, and, consequently, to unfaithful and unqualified individals who were left in charge of the general office when Henley was called to distant points of the district. Signed in type by W. Eustis.
