Monday – (A.E. Frye) in Havana learned that there was a claim of $37,00 against my Dept. and the auditor – Fonts y Sterling – suggested that I petition to have the governor cancel the charge. Instead I wrote to the auditor to suggest that the governor reform his systems of bookkeeping, as no funds ever went through my office in Cuba. He “reformed them” and the amount was canceled promptly. It was a mere technicality. [This was the day I discovered the Post Office vouchers in the auditor’s office, which secured rehearing of Rathbone case before the Supreme Court. See May 12, 1902 – Mark Hanna] On Sept. 7, 1901 the auditor gave me a certificate (see files Cuba) that all my accounts balanced. I stopped at “Hotel Telegrafo,” Prado 112-116, where I lived part of the time when Sup’t Schools of Cuba. [Above I ought to have recorded that the missing Post Office vouchers had been ordered out of the Archives, and the bundle was placed on the desk of H.P. Wilkinson, one of the auditor’s assts., for want of a definite place. Nobody dared remove them wholly from auditor’s office.]
