To Col. R. A. Shine,
Quarter Master General of Florida:

The Congress of the United States having, at its last
session made an appropriation "For reimbursing the State of Florida, under such rules and
"regulations as have heretofore governed the adjustment of similar claims of the several
"States on the United States, for moneys advanced and paid for expenses incurred and
"obligations contracted by said State, for subsistence, supplies and services of local troops
"called into service during the year 1849, by and under the authority of said State, seventy
"five thousand dollars." And the 2d Auditor of the Treasury Department having informed
me "that it will be necessary to forward to this office complete Muster and Pay-Rolls,
"shewing [sic] the periods of service and the amount paid to each person by the State, with re-
ceipted bills for all supplies paid for by the State, for the use of said troops:"

service, for the purpose of being paid off. And to all persons having claims yet unpaid, for
supplies furnished said troops, to meet at one of the respective places, with their bills and
