September 13, 1918.

Dr. Alex Wetmore,
1011 Forum Building,
Sacramento, Calif.

Dear Sir:

In your reimbursement account for the period August 1 to 31, 1918, payable from authorization No.70-Bi. (Food Habits of Birds and Mammals), it has been necessary to suspend the following items:

August 12. Express shipment, Washington, D.C., to Hayward, Cal., subvoucher No.7, $ .38

August 12. Express shipment, Washington, D.C., to Hayward, Cal., subvoucher No.8, $1.50

August 28. Fee for license permitting purchase of explosive duck bomb, .25

The last item is suspended for the reason that there is no authority of law for the payment of license fees by the Government.

The express shipments should have been forwarded prepaid and charges included in the monthly vouchers of the American Railway Express Company. As they were sent collect and you were obliged to pay the charges, the express company has been requested to reimburse you for the amount of the two vouchers and include these items in their monthly bill.
