General
I have the honor to call your attention to my Claim against the Govt.  When I last had the pleasure of an interview with you on the 13th inst at the Battle House in this place you promised me that you would settle the matter for me in five days as I had that time in which to pay the Judgement against me  the time has passed and I have been compelled to make ruinous sacrifices to pay the amt. I now call upon you to please have the amt refunded to me which is but Justice  the amt that I paid to the Bureau for the flat boat was $637.50  it has cost me in defending the suit $230.00 which I also think ought to be refunded me.
