War Department,
Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands,
OFFICE CHIEF DISBURING OFFICER,
Washington, D. C., April 5th, 1870.

Mr R. M. Manly, Supt. of Education,
Richmond Va

Sir:
I return herewith two (2) vouchers of "Saml Ruth" accounting to $125.- for correction.  The signature of the party signing these vouchers does not agree with the name of the party in whose favor they are made.  I would call your attention to the fact that the Treasury Department is very exacting in this particular (in regard to the settlement of accounts) and I wish you would inform your clerk of the same for his future guidance.

By order of Bvt Brig Genl Geo W. Balloch
