Der 81, 1850, and that in making their In
come returns they should not be required
to include the amounts received by them
as pay or salary from the United States
during the last months of 1870, even
though no tax has been withheld there
from. You are further advised that per.
sons whose gross income during the year
1870, estimated in United States currency,
did not exceed $1,000, are not required to
make any income returns, nor need they
make any afldavits showing that their
