Journals of the Continental Congress --[MONDAY, JUNE 10, 1782]
[Report of Secretary at War, on the arrangement of the HospitalDepartment.]
War Office June 7th 1782.
Sir,
I have, in obedience to the orders of Congress, conferred with the Superintendent of Finance on the report of your Committee respecting the Hospital Department and find it is agreeable to him--
As the Purveyor wishes that the Officers acting immediately under him should be of the same grade--he requests that he may be allowed to appoint three clerks one of whom will have the charge of the store to be kept near the Army--
He also requests that there may be no distinct allowance of subsistence for himself and the Apothecary, but that the sum intended as subsistence be added to their pay--
I wish the Purveyor's requisitions may be complied with and that the system, as it will then stand, should be adopted1
