Dear Sir,-
Yours of the 9th inst., enclosing "Transportation Vouchers," is at hand.

There seems to have been a misapprehension in reference to the approval and payment of these accounts. It is not required that they should be approved here before payment; but they are to be approved by the Ass't. Com. of each State, and paid by the Dis. Officer upon that approval. I therefore return them, to be approved by Gen. Swayne.

I will add, that it is not necessary to obtain transportation from Washington, before starting for the place of assignment. The fares can be paid by the Association, or by the Teacher, and the money will be refunded
