Scope and Content Note
This series consists of handwritten abstracts of expenditures which, for the most part, detail the names, grades, positions, and salaries paid to individuals comprising the various offices of the Military Department.
Other abstracts provide information on ordnance distributed to various units but these are few in number and differ greatly in content. Likewise, the abstracts of expenditures on salaries are incomplete since not all offices are covered. Offices which submitted abstracts include the Surgeon General's, Inspector General's, Commissary General's, Judge Advocate General's, Paymaster General's and Quartermaster General's.
The New York State Archives is part of the Office of Cultural Education, an office of the New York State Education Department.
