Respectfully returned to Maj: J.R. Lewis Act A.C. with the information that I can learn nothing more of this money. The communication never was received at this office. I will state here that in receiving the mail, I often find communications addressed to others, placed in my P.O. Box and often my mail is placed with the mail belonging to the Post of Rome. I have spoken to the P. Master repeatedly of his carelessness in this respect. No longer ago that this morning I received a communication, addressed to a citizen, in my mail.
