Title
Hindrance of the Business of the War Office
Description
Hodgdon tells General Irvine that if he cannot exchange the silver for bank notes, he should keep it until some other arrangement can be made. The poor health of the Secretary of War [McHenry] combined with his concern for his elder son, who is dangerously ill, has hindered the business of the War Office.
