H* January IS, 1914. President Edmund J. James, University of Illinois. DEAR SIR: On November 5, 1913, I addressed a letter to the State Auditor of Public Accounts, asking him for a statement of the endowment fund of the University of Illinois. In reply to my letter, the State Auditor furnished such a statement under date of November 11, 1913. This statement of the State Auditor was carefully checked by Mr. Lynn E. Knorr, Assistant Comptroller, both in the business office of the University and in the office of the State Auditor. Mr. Knorr discovered that a remittance of sixty dollars made by the business office of the University on January 2, 1913, had not been credited by the State Auditor on his books. I accordingly addressed a letter on January 13, 1914, to the State Auditor, calling his attention to the discrepancy. The State Auditor replied under date of January 14, acknowledging the error and confirming the accuracy of the statement made by the business office. I enclose copies of all of this correspondence herewith, inasmuch as it gives an accurate statement of the endowment fund of the University. You will note from the correspondence that my office and the office of the State Auditor are closely cooperating in the statement of public accounts affecting the University. V e r y tru,y yours>
