Col,
On my return home last Thursday after the interview I had with you at your office in Richmond, I forwarded the certificate of the Clerk of the City here, within receipt of which you promised to send me immediately an order for my property. I have rec'd no response whatever and hope I shall not be driven to the expense of another trip to Washington.
