About This Item
[Philadelphia, 1800. 21, [1 blank] pp, disbound. A few light fox spots, Very Good.
Evans incorrectly dated this item as 1798; the printed date '28th April, 1800' appears on page 19. Verdier claims that his certificates of registered debt, owed by the United States to him, "were erroneously paid to Robert Morris."
Verdier was awarded the certificates for services rendered in the Revolution as a Captain in Colonel Armand's legion. The Committee, examining the supporting documentation printed here, concludes that Verdier is correct and that Morris ought not to have converted the certificates.
Moreover, "the United States should seek their remedy upon the bond executed for their indemnity by the said Robert Morris." Morris vigorously proclaims his lack of culpability.
Evans 38842. ESTC 21896 [7].
