Tor the many pressing official duties, growing
out OF the raising of troops in answer to the
calls of government, which have occupied my
time.
1t will afford me pleasure, at any time, to
answer such questions as individual Senators
or Representatives may desire to ask, whether
IN relation to matters spoken of in this COM
munoatlon, or pertaining in any way to State
affairs; and as it is certainly desirable that
the General Assembly should fully understand
how the public monies have been expended,
shall be pleased to exhibit to any committee
appointed for the purpose, the requisite &C
counts and vouchers, readily and clearly to
explain such expenditures
