Sir

I have the honor to transmit herewith my final property return and vouchers for the six months ending June 20th 1865. On the 5th of May my successor presented the acceptance of his bond and assumed control of affairs. On the 9th my clerk started for Round Valley Reservation to close the accounts and returns and prepare for the transfer. On the 20th, Supt Maltby arrived, and on the 22nd the transfer was completed. Mendocino Station was next visited and the property there transferred on the 27th the receipts being dated at the 22nd to agree with that taken at Round Valley. At both of these places the receipts included the property actually delivered at the date and the certificates of expenditure under my administration embrace every thing expended to the 22nd [Enc'l?]. On the 31st they reached this city and left for the Northern reservations on the 5th of June. The property at Smith River was transferred on the 10th and to avoid complication Mr Bryson the Agent at that place receipted to Mr Maltby for the property which was on hand on the 5th of May and Supt Maltby receipted to me for the same. The certificates of expenditure under my administration were made up to the 5th of May inclusive. This course was subsequently pursued at
