Letter signed B.L. Bassett, Cameron, Missouri, to Brigadier General Loan, Commanding St. Joseph, Missouri. I was offered payment of my account in second hand defense warrants. I promptly refused, for I am unable to see how the state can owe me and tender the payment in second hand scrip. The utter refusal of the Quartermaster to issue vouchers for forage, etc., is still the theme of universal remark and condemnation. There is no part of the state where the Union men have stood up for our noble cause more nobly than here. The question now is: Ought these simple requests be denied? (3 pages), 1862 Mar 29
