Raleigh N.C 6th April 1871

Col E. Whittlesey
Washington City

Sir

Your note - stating that the claim filed by me for Dr. L.W. Batchelor would be paid soon - addressed to Col A M Waddell - of Hd office - was sent me some days since.  Pardon me for again calling your attention to this matter, the situation of the parties is such that at an early payment would greatly relieve their present necessities.  In fact as the money is going to myself, and as I have present need of it I would ask the earliest practicable adjustment of this small, but long delayed, claim.

Very respectfully yours
Jos. B. Batchelor
