He objects to the implication that bis delay amounted technically to embezzle- ment, and states that on account of his absence from ‘Philadelphia he received no notice that his accounts were desired at once, until the ‘25th of August, and says that in reply to an of- fictal letter now on file at the pension office, he was informed by the third auditor's office that forty days were allowed in which to make out the accounts, which are very voluminous. His clerks are now at work making briefs of the vouchers, and as soon as the work can be com- pleted they will be sent to the auditor, and the money, only technically and never actually in his possession, as it has remained in the Treas- ury department, will be officially covered Into the Treasury. He demands that the third au- ditor correct the false impression that has been made in reference to the matter.
