Hon. Joseph Tucker, Chairman Committee on Military Affairs

Interrogatory, No. 1. “ What expenditures have been made at, or articles purchased or ordered for the State Arsenal, at Cambridge; by whom made, and by what authority, with a statement of the sum paid, and the amount now due on account of the same.”
Answer. Schedule A (annexed) gives a detailed statement of articles ordered and purchased for State Arsenal ; by approval of Brig. General R. A. Peirce, Acting Chiefof Ordnance, with the cost of each article. These have all been paid for out of the appropriation for expenses of Ordnance Department for 1865. Chapter 39, Acts and Resolves.

These bills were contracted by order, or under the authority of General Peirce. Schedule G.—Statement of expenditures in building fire-proof vault, for preservation of Quartermaster’s and Ordnance documents, by order of General R. A. Peirce.

INTERROGATORY, No. 2. “ Whether property has been sold from the arsenal, and if so, the cost of the articles and the price received therefor: the authority for such disposal, and the disposition made of the funds.”
Answer. Property has been sold from the State Arsenal. The original cost of the articles it is impossible to ascertain, as there is no way of determining when they were purchased, the material sold being mostly very old, and in an unserviceable condition. The price received for each article is appended in Schedule marked K. i The sale of the property was made under orders from the governor and council, copies of which are annexed, marked L. and M.
The funds received from sale of the property amounted to . $6,509 32 Deduct commissions, &c., .....•• 404 89 §6,104 43

Before closing this reply to your communication the under- signed begs leave to state that with the exception of the sale of unserviceable property, and the custody of the funds received from the sale he has had no personal knowledge of the matters inquired into; they having been performed by General Peirce, as Acting Quartermaster-General and Master of Ordnance, of whose honor and zeal for the welfare of the public service, I have the highest regard. General Peirce is now absent from the State on account of ill-health, otherwise ho would have the pleasure ofreplying to your inquiries in person.
I have the honor to be, very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
JOHN H. REED, Quartermaster- General.
