from which is to be deducted the amount of his subsistence
during that period 28 —
Dolls 82.60
Leaving a balance of Eighty two Dollars, sixty Cents in his favor, which sum the principle having been established by the Secretary of War for allowing him reasonable expences on said Journey. I am of opinion that the balance claimed by Major Cushing is not an unreasonable charge, for said expences, and does not exceed the allowance granted to other Officers for performing extra service
