Sir; I shall be obliged if you will correct an error in abstract D, third quarter, 1878, in the amount of tobacco issued during said quarter, as the amount issued was 149 1/8 pounds instead of 148 1/8 pounds shown by an addition of the figures in the abstract. Also please correct the return of property for said third quarter, so as to make the amount of tobacco on hand at close of the quarter 265 1/8 instead of 266 1/8 pounds.

Respectfully,
