Dear Sir:

I have observed in the Aurora, a piece under the signature of “A Calm Observer,” which I think merits attention. It is my design to reply to it, with my name, but for this I wish to be furnished, as soon as possible, with the account of the President, and of the appropriations for him, as it stands in the Secretary’s office, the Comptroller’s, and the account rendered to Congress, and also the account of appropriations for this object. Of one point I am sure—that we never exceeded the appropriations, though we may have anticipated the service. Add any remarks you may judge useful. The sooner the better.
