After laying in and about my desk for some time was lost or carried off and being very busy at the time I do not know what became of it. 
Col Callis Supt &c requests me to return it to the boy.
With due regard for the Col's office I appeal the matter to you for your decision If you so order, I will either pay the boy or the Govt for the weapon. But one thing I wish to assure you it was taken from a cold boy in accordance with the regulations then in place by the military for the good of community. 

Very respectfully 
Your obt Servt
