Office Kentucky State Agency
Washington, D. C.
General,
I herewith enclose you two (2) letters from the 3rd Auditor, with reference to the State Account. I wrote would have sent them to you long ago but I have been trying to get an agreement about our settlement which I have failed to do.
The authority abstracts made by the State are said to be so very imperfect that the accounts cannot be adjusted until new abstracts and proper classifications of the vouchers are rendered. I have seen the Auditor and this is insisted upon. If you will authorize me to employ a sufficient force in my office I will soon render the accounts as he wants them. This settlement progresses very slowly. I have a copy of the difference sheets on the pay rolls; it is full of errors of the most flagrant kind
The Auditor has agreed to take up that portion of the account presented by the pay rolls and settle
it; but you will see that he requires the new abstracts in this account. It will require a competent clerk but a short time to make out the required abstracts for this account. You will please return me the letters which I herewith enclose.
I am Sir, respectfuly
Your Obd. Svt.
