Exposé of a Treasury official’s two decade misconducts
A lengthy exposure details repeated cases of defalcation and neglect by receivers of public money from 1826 to 1836. It catalogs Joseph Reckless, William Linn, and especially Columbus Mississippi figures, with letters from Levi Woodbury and Treasury warnings, remonstrances, and eventual threats of removal for failure to deposit funds and render monthly accounts. It ends lamenting ongoing official corruption.
