_To the House of Representatives_:
I transmit herewith a copy of the instructions, prepared under my
direction by the War Department, for the commissioners appointed by me,

_To the Senate of the United States_:
I herewith transmit to the Senate a report of the Postmaster-General,

review of that report by the Solicitor of the Treasury, to whom, under
a law of the last session of Congress, all the suspended debts of those
contractors had been submitted; also a supplemental rejoinder by the
Postmaster-General since the report of the Solicitor of the Treasury
was made, with the papers accompanying the same, all of which are
