Professor S.F. Baird, Commissioner of Food Fishes,

Sir:

The amount of expenditures under Food Fishes for April last was stated in my notification to you of May 1 to have been $302.92 instead of $352.92. This error of $50 has been transmitted through succeeding notifications to the present time. It will be corrected in the next monthly statement. 
The true amount remaining under this head today, after paying bill of $179.56 just received, will be $728.54.

Respectfully, 
Your obedient servant, 
Wm A. DeCaindry
