Baltimore
May 13th 1868

Respectfully returned to C. H. Hildreth with the information that I heard you say in a conversation with Maj. Bolenius that since you had been in the claim division you had had many chances to make money but had never improved them, or words to that effect, when Maj. Bolenius responded in words something like what you state, he said, within, but I do not remember the exact language.
