I myself have worked extra hours. I beg leave to remark, that not a considerable portion of business belonging to other Departments devolved upon this office last, when up to frequently there was more than one clerk to carry on its multiplied duties, but the system of paying three times a quarter and on arter and on Imprest instead of once and final, necessarily causes a considerable augmentation in the number of Vouchers and an increased vigilance in examining and checking Recounts, which cannot be tested by mere copying business.
I may add that the Commissariat Accounts, required monthly, were, I understand, four months in arrear, although several extra clerks were engaged for some time on them. Indeed, consecutive labor on figures is, with difficulty, sustained in this climate, and extra assistance, even with a full establishment, becomes unavoidable. A reference to my three quarterly accounts, and to their voluminous supporting documents, will indicate the great exertion and attention which is required.
The December quarterly account is now rendered. I am engaged on the Annual returns, and in preparing a statement of the disbursements of each Consulate, which I hope in three weeks to place before His Excellency.
I have, &c.
