To the Honorable
The Secretary of War

Sir;
On the 6th Ult. papers relating to the Hearne Will case in Texas, were forwarded from this office to the War Department at the request of Th. P. Aycock Esq. of Calvert Texas. 
Another letter is this day received from Mr. Aycock renewing his request, as he desires to use the papers as evidence, and I have the honor to inquire what answer shall be made to him and what disposition was made of the papers. 

Very Respectfully, 
E. Whittlesey
A.A.A. Genl.
In absence of the Commissioner
