Mobile Ala Feby 22. 1868 Respectfully reforwarded. The facts as I understand them as stated in the Cashier's letter are that he has leased the building for $100.00 per month and only receives $25.090 for such letting this leaves $75.00 per month for the Bank to pay. I am unwilling to sign vouchers for over $50 a month without orders as that has been the amount heretofore established but if orders establish the rule that the Bureau pay all the rents of freedmens banks I shall certainly hereafter subscribe to a voucher for $75.00 as I believe the Bank is now under that expense. The rent is undoubtedly too high but the lease was made before rents were reduced. (over)
