Sir
Your Communication of August 27th in relation to the contested Will of John Hargrave, has been laid before the Ass't Commissioner who directs me to say that he regrets that it is not within his power to aid you in this matter, but as it is a case which exceeds the jurisdiction of the Bureau it is impossible for him to give you the assistance requested.

Respectfully
Your Ob't Servant
T. F. Forbes
Lieut & A.A.A.G.
