General,
   I have the honor to state, in connection with Par 4, of the enclosed Report, the following: That my duties of auditing the accounts of the various Rail roads terminating at this point comprised then of the Ala & Miss R. R. R. The Ala & Tenn R R. R. The Cahaba, Marion & Greensboro R. R. The North & South R. R. The auditing of these accounts has nearly been completed, up to August 1st, 1864; when my duties in this respect will cease, having been relieved by Major T. Le Baron Q. M.
   Estimates for funds have been forwarded, in obedience to instructions from the Q. M. Genl's Office, to meet the liabilities of these R. Roads, up to that time, but as yet none have been received. I ask permission to state on this occasion, that the demands made by these roads have been very great indeed, and in this connection would be thankful for any attention that may be given to my estimates for the same.
I have the honor to remain
Very respectfully &c
J C Graham
Capt & A. Q. M.
