Washington, Dec. 27th 1870

To the Honorable
The Secretary of War

Sir
I have the honor to request you to approve and forward the enclosed letter to the Attorney General. Considerable amounts are still due the Government from Citizens of S.C. And it is believed that some of the claims can be collected with the aid of the U.S. Dist. Attorney.

Very Respectfully
O.O. Howard
Brig. Gen. U.S.A. Commr.
