General John Wood Quartermaster General State of Illinois Sir I have the honor to Report the following concerning the condition of our claims against the U.S. I find after some enquiry and explanations with the Clerk who has our claims in charge that so far as he was concerned he had made an examination of our Property Return and found that we had accounted for the principal items with a settlement if no further examination of our accounts was required by the Third Auditor. I therefore called upon the Third Auditor to ascertain what further was required and stated what his Clerk had informed me that our Property Return was found to be correct and if no further information was required he was <hr /> Ready to proceed with the settlement The Third Auditor Mr R.J. Atkinson did not appear entirely satisfied as to the examination of our accounts by his Clerk and informed me, he would see his Clerk, and give him further instruction in the course of the day. In the afternoon I called upon the Clerk who went with me to the Auditor and after a pleasant conversation of some length in which he informed me that the Government had done more for our State in the settlement of her accounts than for any other, yet he would do all he could for us, and requested that I send home and get the receipts showing how we had disposed of our Stores. I informed him I would do so but that if I had to wait here until they were received and examined I would get no settlement this year I have therefore written to Mr Brown to send me by Express the proper Receipts and shall probably receive them in the next ten days It is very evident to my mind General that in order to effect a speedy settlement of our accounts that your presence here with that of Govr Yates for a week or two with Secretary Chase <hr /> will accomplish more than can otherwise be accomplished by any explanation that can be made and I most earnestly request that you and his Excellency come on here at once for the special purpose of demanding of Secretary Chase a settlement so far as it can be made I find so few of our accounts suspended or disallowed that there is but few explanations to be made, and as there is about $470 000 of claims passed upon, by the Third Auditors Clerk, and only require the authority of the Auditor to be made up and sent forward to the 2nd Comptroler to be examined by him before being paid I think this amount could be secured very soon should you and the Governor come here, but as the case now stands it is my impression that it is not the purpose of the Government to pay any more of these State Claims until after the war unless such demands are made upon the Treasury Department as will forbid the delay. Hoping General you will see the importance of your being here at this time I am Very Respectfully your Obdt Servt John H.
