Respectfully returned attention invited to copy of my letter to Col. H.M. Carr and his reply.  I am convinced in my own mind of the truthfulness of Mr[[strikethrough]]s[[/strikethrough]] Carr's statements, and are satisfied that the statements of Maria Drain as to not receiving any money from Mr Carr are as false as those relative to the transactions in my office certainly are.
