General O. Brown,
Richmond, Va.

Sir.
I have the honor to enclose herewith draft no. 224. on F.S & T. Co for $187.26. to pay Peter Sneed. as pr vouchers Enclosed.— Peter is in the Penitentiary at Richmond. I enclose an order that he gave the Lawyers who defended him. for your action. In my opinion a safer investment for him would be for you to deposit the money in the Saving's Bank.

Respy Yours
