Moses Mitchell - states that he was employed by Capt. O. Brown, A.Q.M. at Norfolk City from May 7th 1864 to August 7th 1865 at $20. per month and that he has received no pay. The name of Moses Mitchell does not appear on the rolls of Capt. O. Brown (now Genl. O. Brown, Asst. Commissioner) for any of the time claimed - neither did Capt. Brown pay any of his laborers $20 per month. His name also does not appear on the Rolls of Captain A.S. Flagg, Captain Brown's successor. Under whose immediate direction did this man work?

The total amount of pay due this man during the time he was employed by Capt.

Brown - Six Dollars due him on June 18th 1865, was transferred to Capt. A.S. Flagg, A.Q.M. Capt. Brown's successor. He appears by Capt.
