Sir
The letters that you left at this Office for the purpose of obtaining information for the Estate of the late Col. William Butler have been particularly attended to — and I find that no information can be obtained that I conceive will be of the least service to the points in question. I therefore take the liberty of returning to you the said letters enclosed —
