Title

Replacing the Powder that Was Embezzled

Description

Morris called on Mr. Poe to discuss the powder that was embezzled. Poe will meet with the other gentleman with whom he is associated and discuss the matter. Though they admit that they are accountable for the deficiency, they seem to be waiting for some future time when the powder might be replaced at less expense.
