Sir
The accompanying papers are returned to you whose duty it is to see that justice is done to Philip Joyce. The case cannot be adjudicated here but may come up in an appeal. If there has been no fraud in the case, Philip is estopped from all further action by a receipt he gave. But if the worthless note of $100.00, with a credit of $10 was fraudulently thrust upon him, and that can be proved, it will be your duty to enforce payment notwithstanding the receipt. But you are fully competent to adjudicate the whole case. 

By order of Bt Maj: Gen Fisk
J. E. Jacobs
Bt. Lt. Col. & A.A.G.
