TREASURY DEPARTMENT,

Third Auditor's Office, March 22, 1854.

SIR: I have the honor to enclose herewith the information asked for by your letter of the 28th of February, relative to the cost of transporting troops, supplies, &c., for the army on the Pacific, in Texas, New Mexico, and Utah, so far as the same appears from the accounts of officers disbursing in the quartermaster's department. It will be perceived by the enclosed statement that the cost of transportation of officers, as well as of troops, supplies, &c., have been kept separate, presuming it might better suit the purpose for which it is intended.

I would here state, that Fort Leavenworth, being on the route to Sante Fé, large quantities of supplies were shipped from St. Louis to that post without stating their ultimate destination. Believing them to have been forwarded to New Mexico, the cost of their transportation is included in the amount herewith furnished.

Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

Hon. JAMES GUTHRIE,

Secretary of the Treasury.

F. BURT, Third Auditor.
