| Colonel, |
| I have the honor to enclose herewith |

Co. in due form |
| 2 Resolution of Board of Directors of the
Ala. & Ten. River R. R. Company constituting A. M. Goodwin Agt. to

| 3 Affidavits in reference to vouchers No.
12 1st quarter and 4 2d quarter 1863 |
| 4 Receipt of Lewis G. Gardiner, Messenger,
for one hundred & fifty dollars. |
| Mr. Gardiner having been
detained, needed money to prosecute his journey. |
| Will you be kind enough to indicate the
course to be taken in reference to $50,000 turned over by me to Maj.
Nocquet by draft on Depository at Knoxville. This was done under
instructions from Col. J. T. Gilmer Chief of Bureau. Maj. Nocquet failed
to receipt for or acknowledge receipt of the draft. This amount is
charged against me on the Books of the Auditor. |
| In this case of Maxwell, contractor for
Bridges, will the signature of his agent be satisfactory. Maxwell is a
prisoner in Knoxville. His amount entered is correct. His agent is in
Geo. and will sign the vouchers at my instance. |
