Lieutenant:
I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your favor of the 16th inst, enclosing receipt of E. M. Harris, favor of the "Trustees Freedmen's school Association" for nine dollars in specie & five in Green backs. The check of the D.O. came to hand, & is in my possession. Mr Harris left here the day before yesterday contemplating getting his pay in Washington

In justice to him, I remember of his having paid one Jesse, late Candidate for the Convention from Fayette, a sum of money, about this amount above mentioned - & of Harris's complaining that the parties had not sent the receipt given.

It may turn out to be this receipt which was in question. I will investigate
