Ge'rtlemen;

In regard to the enclosed Dill will say that I had no intention of doing
Miami, Fla.,Auf;.12th,19U).
the amount of work re Allred in the preleminary examination without renumeration; and
it tee members of the Council understood otherwise, it probably was from sometting tht
w9t said when it leas planed to make the tests of two or three sr+lles only or a visit
to tee dariea; in place of this, five deries were tested in duplicate; the tent were
repeated Aldo in duplicate on four; and an extra test was late it one case.
Also part of tee :samples were furnished and ni'id for by me; end the report typewre
itten by a stenographer, who has sent in a bill for Four Dollars for her service.
Therefore taking in account the amount of time given to tne work and tne expense
attended thereto, T thin. the bill is none too high.
'Vevy respectfully,
