Sir,
   I am in receipt of yours of the 16th instant, saying that "in overlooking" your paymasters a/c forwarded to this office by you on the 10th you have "discovered an error in the pay roll of Company F Florida Vols. by deducting from the footings the pay of 4 men instead of 3 who had not signed" &c.
   In reply I have to inform you that an examination of the pay roll of the company mentioned in your letter, has been made in this office and it is found that the following named privates did not sign the roll. The deductions as made by you on the roll are consequently correct, viz: Elisha W. Harrold $55.46  Curtis James $55.46  George S. Adams $55.46  Wm F. Webb $55.46.
A. C. Myers, Q. M. General
