We authorized TO state The facts IN this case to be
follows, viz
The postmaster at Mobile called at The Department
few weeks since and stated that he on journey Tor
his health, which had been feeble for months
On the evening of the same day he called on the Post
master General at his house and stated TIM, he had been
TO the Auditor office, and found that large amount OF
crafts had been drawn upon him. which he feared could
