I have received your letter dated the 23 instant enclosing the case of Mr. [undecipherable] for one hundred Dollars — When he was written to on the subject it was thought that the money would be forwarded on the usual way through your hands, but there was not sufficient time to notify the Treasury, and the amount was accordingly forwarded by [undecipherable], which will account for his being directed to receipt for you.
