Vicksburg, Miss, Dec 18th 67.

Booker Betsey, Widow of Adam Booker, late of 53rd U.S.C.I.

States that she placed her claim in the hands of Mr Florey in 1865 for collection and she now has reason to believe that the money is in his hands for payment to her as he has put her off for months saying her money had not come, but now offers her $175 00 cash for it.
