Likins' letter of the lGth Deer. 1846 (:Ko 11. in the preceding series) was received and read, I indicated to his friend who brought it, my readiness to examine whatever papers the Lieut. might chose to lay before me, and to receiYe his Returns whenever he thought proper to make them.- On the succeeding morning Lieut. Likins called at my Quarters; but I was too much occupied at the time to examine the papers which he brought for my inspection. On the 19th, he called again, in accordance with my note of that date; and exhibited the vouchers which he had taken whilst acting as Qr. l\Iaster & Commissary. I proceeded to their examination; but examined them so far only as to take clown in a rough and hurried manner as each voucher was presented to me, the subject matter of it, the signature, the date and the amount. From this rough record (which is still in my possession) I make the following discriptive list of all the vouch- ers which were presented to me on that occasion; to which is added the several sums which the Qr. ::\faster claims to have paid out for which he has no vouchers. Purchases of Corn.
