Dear Sir
The bearer Jas Braxtow cold states that on last Friday he found a pocket book containing $7.50 that it was taken in charge of by a Policeman by the name of Leach. This man thinks, as he found the money that he has a right to it. He has applied to Leach for the money and has been put off. I know not what the law is concerning money found, but feel confident that you will see justice done the man

Very Respectfully &c.

Lieutenant-
I have learned accidentally that the Christian Commission has a large supply of stoves on hand and that they contemplate selling these stoves their labor ceasing with the close of the War. I learn this through Mr Yoney. If such is the case, could not these stoves be secured for the bureau?
