Dear Sir:-
Can you hasten your report under the order of the Commissioner, to your Asst. Commr. Oct. 6th 1868.

The Secretaries of the Societies are sending in their accounts, and the Disbursing Officer cannot pay them until there is an official certificate of the facts as called for in the order.

Yours, &c.,
Very respectfully,
