I suppose it is now too late to remedy the matter. In regard to the transaction in which Mr. Montague was involved, I presume you understood from my reply that we should be glad to aid you in getting at the truth, so far as our records may show light upon it, and in obtaining restitution of any funds wrongfully acquired, which are found to have been transferred to this office Allow me cordially to reciprocate your expressions of esteem. 91 Respectfully, Your obedient Servant, (Signed) Wager Swayne.
