that they had no right to the property and an order was made, to deliver the property to Pullen, and without my knowledge they drew up a bond for Pullen to sign, releasing them, and the government from all liability, for the rents which had been wrongfully received by Major Morse and his sucessor. I advised Pullen, not to sign that bond, as it was gross injustice to ask him to do so. And he did not sign it. But the Treasury Agent delivered to him his property.

I am yours &c
