Sir,
   To yours of this inst in regard to my reply to continue interlocutions preferred to me by Maj. Meriwether on the 21st of March 1864 I reply that said answer was intended to convey the cost of the articles mentioned & this company at the time of their purchase without giving any opinion as to their value at any subsequent period.
   It is my opinion from my knowledge of your stock that no local appraisement made by Messers Jay & Hutton as it appears pour the papers presented to me was not above the value of the articles impressed & would have cost double that valuation to have made nearly every article mentioned at any time that year.
