by them and alloted to Voucher C. Abstract of Disbursement Easements for 4th Quar. 1889, will not be accepted as a receipt?

Permit me to apologize and to express my regret for this mistake which I have made involving these Irregular Employees, in my 4th Quarter accounts for 1889, and for a similar error which I am sorry to say also occurs in my Quarterly Accounts for the 1st Quarter 1890. The latter mistake I will at once rectify, as soon as I can obtain blanks, and will write a statement of the circumstances which caused me to employ the men as I did, in July and August last.

Respectfully
