R.M. Manly Supt. of Ed.
Richmond, Va.

Sir

Enclosed find my check no. 7341 on U.S. Treasury for $800.00 to pay the following vouchers for materials and labor on School House at Charlottesville. 
John R. Thompson  (S House)  $545.00 
Pay Roll  255.00
Total  $800.00

The Vouchers were properly made out but you evidently did not understand Genl E. Whittlesey's endorsement authorizing the expenditure of $800.00. Copies of contract should have been forwarded for approval before any work was done.

Your Resp'y
Geo W. Balloch
Brvt. Brig. Genl. and Chf. D.O.
