Colonel,
  Your communication of July 6th containing Invoices and Receipts, for Stationery for use in this office, for quarter ending September 30th 1870 is received.
  The Commissioner in a communication of June 30th directed the closing of the Educational Department of the Bureau on or before the 15th of [[?]].
  In view of these facts I think it [[worthless?]] to take up the stationery or [[pay returns?]], and therefore ask instructions.
  Mr. Webber has received no stationery ending Sept. 30/70 
Respectfully
