Reducing the Estimates Wasursarus May 16 Report to House
The Secretary of War has sent to the House a report detailing reductions from the fiscal year 1877 estimates. Large cuts target clothing and equipment and fortifications while preserving essential building funds for state, war, and navy department records. The memo notes troop needs remain met and seeks retrenchment without harming defense. The text ends with a curious excerpt about Lapland mothers and babies laid in snow nearby a wooden church.

Att Gen Perrpont offered a narrow reading, allowing payment for labor while forbidding purchase of the mothproof material. The dispute sparked public money misuses and political pressure as contractors pressed for payments.
