D 
ear Sir: 
Replying to your letter of July 8, regarding 
suspensions from your May expense account, I beg to 
advise you that the $5.10 was correctly deducted. It 
appears that your objective point upon leaving Washington 
was Ogden* Utah, and Par. 71 of the Fiscal Regulations 
provides that travel must be performed by the shortest 
practicable, usually traveled route. By consulting the 
official railroad guide I find that you could have left 
Washington over the B. & 0. Railroad at 7:35 p. m. May 
JL uUr^ *j |] } an £ wou p£ have arrived in Ogden at 10:40 a. m. on

May 14 . It appears that you did actually leave Washing- 
ton over the B. & 0. at 4:05 p. m. May 11, and arrived 
m 
n at 5 p. ra, 
As there is a difference of 
34 hours between the two schedules, it would appear that 
the suspensions were entirely proper
