No 2 is composed of the unsettled claims against Henley Dreibelbis and the other Agents previous to Hanson. These accounts have been presented to without having been advertised for that final action may be taken on them by the Dept. The amount of [illebible] No 2 $10186.83. [Illegible] No 3 is an abstract of the indebtedness of Mr Wentworth and is accompanied by one copy of each voucher duly certified to. The accounts are doubtless correct and without referring to them in detail I would recommend their early payment. The amount is $5290.42. I do not presume that [illegible] No 1 comprises all of the indebtedness remaining unpaid by Mr Hanson as many of the accounts have been presented to Mr Steele for his report and forwarding to the Dept. and some I understand to Mr J. Ross Browne for the same purpose and the creditors considered it unnecessary to submit them again. I have examined into the accounts presented in the [illegible] as fully as was possible and have also corresponded with Mr Hanson in regard to some of the doubtful ones. I report favorably on those accounts which I consider just in the sense of having been actually incurred by Mr Hanson and which im justice ought to be paid to the parties furnishing the supplies rendering the services by some one whether it is proper for the Department to finally pay some of these accounts or for Mr Hanson and his bondsman to be held for them is not for me to decide.
