General
I have the honor to enclose herewith Receipt Rolls Nos 1&2 of Clothing Camp and Garrison Equipage for Month of February 1867. These Rolls were returned to me from your Office March 15th 67 (thro Bt Lt Col Thos P Johnston Chief Qr Mr Bu R F. & A.L. for the State of North Carolina) for correction and after making the necessary corrections I returned them to Col Johnston, presuming as he was the channel through which all property papers reaced your Office he would transmit the Rolls to you. But for reasons unknown to me, he under date of Aug 17th 1867 returns me these Rolls. I make this statement, first to redeem myself from any seeming negligance in not forwarding the Rolls at an earlier date, secondly to explain why I forward the Rolls to you direct, when the were received by me thro Col Johnston,

I am General
