Dr Sir
At your instance and by your order Capt Messenger there Provo Marshal over this City my iron safe was taken out of my office and conveyed to Col Kinsmans quarters at Ft. Monroe.

Since which time I have not received a receipt in order that I might get pay nor has it been returned to me.

Will you please say how I am to procure the safe or the pay for it.

Is it necessary for me to send my claim with the proofs to Washington?
