Respectfully returned. Recruiting funds, "civil property" & such funds will not be taken up on Quarter Masters papers. Funds arising from or connected with freedmens affairs must be kept separate from others and accounted for to the Chief disbursing and accounting officer of the Bureau (Col Balloch). Quarter Masters funds proper will, of course, be taken up on Quarter Masters papers.
The paragraph referred to means simply that property should be accounted for in the same manner as mentioned therein and not that funds arising from sources outside of the War Dept and not connected therewith, should be thrown therein -
