generally to the heads of bureaus at Washington, to
his late brother clerks, and to the principal mail
tractors in the Union.

certificates, ready for bidding, and will send them to
those requiring them. When it is considered that a
large number of bids at every letting set aside for
some informally in the guaranty or certificate, he
feels satisfied that the contractors will find their
count in procuring the blanks ii ON him. statement

also be forwarded with the blanks.
