East Livermore Aug 30 1862 Hon I. Washburn Jr

Dr Sir

I finished up my work one week ago and wrote to the Adjutant sending him my bill and requesting him to send me the money by mail, since which time I have heard nothing - It took me Nineteen days to go over the county thoroughly and my Expenses for myself and Horse for the same time was $29.60 - My wages at $2.50 per day would be $47.50 Making a Total in all of $77.10 - I could not get hold of Hutchins. He had somehow got word that some one was after him and cleaned out -- It is pretty harde getting hold of Deserters where you are not acquainted with them and do not Know who to trust to Enquire after them - I have done the best I could but think perhaps I could do better next time and If you wish for any one to go over the county again I should like the Job or if you can give me any other business to do I should be most happy to have you Very Truly Yours E.B.
