PERSONAL ACCOUNT. 



Of the above amount, the dishursement of only a very small portion came imdcr my direction or within my knowledge. 

 The item of $38,100 for office-work and the two items of $10,000, each were disbursed by Captain Thorn under my imme- 

 diate direction. Of the first sum, there was, January 1, 1856, a balance untouched of $24,445 54 ; and of the two last 

 sums a balance of $12,900. As far as my authority has extended, there have been no defalcations.

 United States and Mexico, as established under the treatv of December 30, 1853.
