Sir:
I regret to say that Mr. D. Howard's and Miss Farrar's vouchers reached me the same day with Gen. Howard's Circular 22, C.S., which prohibits the payment of all accounts of that nature
There is perhaps a bare possibility that they may be specially approved at some future time, but it is safer to assume that they will not be.
Very respectfully
Your obedient Serv't.
