Galveston Apr 11. 1867.

A.J. Evans Esq.

Dear Sir _

Yours of 30th ult. received and submitted to Genl. Griffin. He instructs me to take steps at once to procure the necessary testimony in the case of the Waco Manufacturing Company to enable the Government to assert and enforce its right to the property in question and that a fair compensation will be made for services rendered. If you are willing to associate with me in the case and divide the fee please advise me at once and in the meantime furnish me with all the testimony in your power as the basis of further official action by the Government in the premises.

Yours respectfully.
A.P. Wiley.
