15th

Dear Sir,
In reply to yours of the 9th inst I am instructed to say that the funds for the payment of such claims as you mention, are entirely exhausted.

I know of no way by which the claim referred to, can be collected except through the U.S. Court of Claims.

Very respectfully 
A.A.A. General
