WAR DEPARTMENT,
Bureau Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands.
WASHINGTON, Nov 1, 1870.

Respectfully returned to Bvt Brig Genl. E. Whittlesey AAA Genl., inviting attention to correspondence enclosed as showing the action heretofore taken by the Commissioner regarding the accounts of Capt. A. Mason, enclosed. It would seem that the funds $52,577 22/ transferred by Capt. W. B. Armstrong to Capt. A. Mason July 6/31, 1865, were expanded by the latter for the several purposes for which they were issued, and not on account of the QM. Dept. not except the sum of $10346 transferred Sept 16, 1865 to Capt J. B. Dexter, A.Q.M., which does not appear to have been accounted for by him in the QM Dept. USA. or otherwise
Gen W. Balloch
Bt Brig Genl C.D.O.
