with Par 4. of the enclosed Report the following: That my duties of
auditing the accounts of the various Rail Roads terminating at this
point, comprised then of the Ala & Miss R. R. R. {Alabama
& Mississippi Rivers RR} The Ala & Tenn R. R. R. {Alabama
& Tennessee River RR} The Cahaba, Marion & Greensboro
R. R. The North & South R. R. {Northeast
& Southwest Alabama RR} The auditing of these accounts
has nearly been completed, up to August 1st 1864, when my duties in

Q. M. |
| Estimates for funds have been forwarded
in obedience to instructions from the Q. M. Genl's Office to meet
the liabilities of these R. Roads, up to that time but as yet none
have been received. I ask permission to state on this occasion, that
the demands made by these roads have been very good indeed, and in
this connection would be thankful for any attention that may be
given to my estimates for the above. |
| I have the honor to remain |
| Very respectfully &c |
