POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT, June 15, 1861.

SIR In reply to your letter of the 24th ult., I have to state that the appropriations which were embraced in the legislation of the last Congress will be sufficient, in the aggregate, (so far as can now be foreseen,) for all the purposes of this department during the remainder of the current fiscal year, as well as for its probable expenditures during the period extending from the 1st of July, 1861, to the 30th of June, 1862.

It has recently been found necessary to advertise for a supply of new mail locks and keys, no estimate for which has hitherto been submitted; but in view of the ample appropriations already made for the service of this department, it is presumed that no additional legislation to meet this expenditure will be required.

Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

Hon. S. P. CHASE,

Secretary of the Treasury.

M. BLAIR, Postmaster General.

1st Session.

No. 2.
