SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION 
MEMORANDUM 
July 27, 1911 
For Mr. Dorsey: 
In examination of Mr. Pittier's account 
transmitted with his letter of July 17, I find 
he has made a mistake in addition of $10.00. In¬ 
stead of $237.13, as claimed, it actually amounts 
to $247.13, for which I have given him credit. His 
account seems to he correct. 
I have also given hidcredit for $6.50 
covering some items from April 5 to July 12 which 
were omitted from his previous accounts, and to 
which Mr. Maxon called his attention in a letter 
dated July 7, 1911. 
Mr. Pittier’s account now stands as 
follows: He has received from the Institution, 
including a remittance of $200. in July and a 
transfer of advances to Mr. Maxon, a total 
of $1300; and including his accounts for May and 
June, together with the error in his favor of $10 
and the $6.50, he has been credited with $951.73, 
leaving a balance due the Institution of $348.27.
