General Swayne in the aggregate two hundred dollars. I have expended five-hundred dollars of my own private funds and have worked five months faithfully for the Government. It appears to me that the matter should not flag for the want of a small sum of money. I take the liberty of sending some papers to  you for General Howard. will you please call on him and urge on him the necessity of prompt action - Any assistance that you can  furnish me will be remembered with gratitude     

I have the honor to be with great respect

Your Obt Servant.
