Sacramento, Cal. 
Dear Mr. Wetmoret 
I notice that you are going to considerable unnecessary 
labor in itemizing subsistence supplies in your reimbursement 
account. Inis is not required if the supplies are itemized on 
the subYoucher. All you need to show under the date of purchase 
in the account itself is the word, "Supplies”, giving the sub- 
voucher number and the total amount of the purchase. 
By eliminating this unnecessary detail, it will save your- 
solf considerable labor, as well as this office in checking the 
items against the subvouchers. 
Very
