Madam, Your letter of the 7th inst enclosing vouchers for transportation was recd in due time.  They are not dated.  The date should be the time you reach Montgomery, and then there be some reason stated why transportation was not applied for and used instead of your paying fare.
It is very difficult matter now to collect communication of transportation and the papers must be made strong as possible.
Very Respectfully
Your Obt Servt

Dear Sir
Yours inclosing voucher for lumber, glass putty &c. for repairs is before me.  The vouchers have been submitted to Cols. Arthur and Beecher, and as the former is coming through Talladega, he will explain the red tape process.  We will have an order issued in a day or two authorizing you to expend property to the amt of $2000 in repairing the building at Talladega.  
The vouchers for Col Beecher cannot be paid until after close of each month when you make some report to Q.M. as to disposition of property.  From 25 and the 

33
Q.M. notifies the Dis Officer that your Claims are properly made and the property - accounted for and then he pays the purchase vouchers shall I return these vouchers or hold them to close of March.  
Very Respectfully
