From Thomas Jefferson to the Auditors, 3 April 1781
To the Auditors
In Council Apr. 3. 1781.
The board would recommend to the Auditors whenever accounts of the deficiencies of bounty, and orders for them for the new levies are produced as directed by law, that warrants should not be staid because the tobacco notes are not sent, as the men are extremely wanting.
Th: Jefferson
RC (Vi); endorsed: “Apr. 1781. Recommendation from the Executive respectg Bounties.”
