Sir:

Referring to your Weekly "Report of Payments" for the week ending February 14th 1874, and to voucher 1 pertaining to your account current for February 1874, I find that payment in the case of Christmas and Diana Haywood, parents of James B. Haywood, late Musician Co. E. 33rd Regt. U.S.C. Troops, was made to Diana Haywood, mother of soldier.

You will therefore report your reasons for so doing, and furnish this office with satisfactory evidence of the death of Christmas
