Maj Pierce Supt Bureau RF & AL
I hereby notify you that I shall make immediate application to Maj Gen Wager Swayne for his approval and ratification of contract between Lt. A P Gibson and myself, with regard to the corn and fodder delivered to him on the plantation rented by me to the United States Govt. I adopt this course as a considerable quantity of the corn and all of the fodder has already been used in the plantation, both before and since your assumption of the Bureau of RF & A L and as no means of indemnity are offered me by your Bureau I shall claim the execution in good faith of my original contract.
Respectfully
E T Henley
