Mr. Alex Wetrcore, 
Biological Survey. 
Dear Sir: 
Referring to your application for advance of f 175.00 for use 
from Aug. 1, to Oct. 31, 1922, authorized by the Act of June 3, 1902, 
I beg to inclose my check No. 542898 for the amount in question, together 
with a copy of your bond which you will note has been approved by the 
Acting Secretary, You will also find inclosed 3 blank vouchers. Form 
101, to be used by you in stating your accounts in accordance with the Fiscal 
Regulations. You will note that the first page of the voucher form is in 
triplicate and care should be exercised by you to fill in all three copies 
completely. The other pages of the form should be filled in exactly as in 
the case of other traveling expense vouchers. When this voucher has been 
stated and sworn to it should be forwarded through the usual channels. 
When it reaches this division necessary corrections, if any, will be made 
and one of the triplicate copies returned to you for reference purposes, 
the other being sent to the accounting office of your bureau. 
Under no circumstances should you state an account on Form 101 for an 
amount larger than your advance, nor use Form 101 for any expenses other than 
those covered by the advance. Should it develop* that you incur official 
expenses greater in amount than the Government funds advanced, you should make 
application for additional funds. The bond is good for a year and additional 
advances can be requested on Form 100 without executing another bond. 
Promptly after Oct. 31, 1922, you will be asked to refund any unused 
balance remaining on hand. 
Very respectfully, 
Inclosures.
