Bureau Refugess, Freedmen & Abandoned Lands

Office Chief Disbursing Officer, 

Washington, Apr 30, 1867

Respectfully returned to BVT Brg. Genl. H. M Whittelsey ChfQ.M. with the remark that in my opinion his decision is correct. and that this Bureau should not be made to pay the extra expense caused by the neglect of the agent to apply for transportation. In this case all that could justly be paid would be 2 5/100 cent per mile for the actual distance travelled by these teachers
