   The tariff with Southern Express Co has been unavoidably delayed and in the mean time the accts for transporting food & clothing for Soldiers are falling due. I would respectfully ask that till the rates are promulgated Maj C. M. Smith be instructed to refund to the Relief Association such sums as have been expended by them for transportation, upon their producing proper voucher for expenditure and satisfactory evidence that the articles transported are of the character contemplated.
I am General
