Mr. Alex Wetmore,

El Vado, N. Mex.

Dear Mr. Wetmore:

A form-5 voucher in favor of Mr. H. L. Hall covering subsistence [[strikethrough]]and [[/strikethrough]] supplies amounting to $32.05 has just been received. I regret that you did not complete the voucher before forwarding, by giving the exact period covered by these supplies and information as to the number of persons subsisted, that is whether the supplies were used by yourself only, or were shared with an assistant. This information is necessary for us to know in auditing your reimbursement account, and has to be shown for the purpose of cross-reference, on the form-5 voucher, as well as in your reimbursement account when it is submitted. In this instance I have taken the liberty of assuming that the supplies are being used only by yourself and, from information furnished by Mr. McAtee, that they are intended to cover the period of your stay at Stinking Lake, which he assures me will be until about the middle of June. I have, therefore, made the following notation on the voucher "subsistence supplies in part for self for the period commencing May 23 and ending about June 15, 1918".

If the above does not conform with the facts, it will be necessary for you to advise me promptly so that it may be corrected while
