| Sir, |
| The Quartermaster General has referred to this Bureau,
an account against the Confederate States for rail road iron, the
property of Hon. Jno. M. Morehead {former Governor
of North Carolina}, used at Fort Macon. |
| As it is necessary to have this account
certified to by a Confederate officer before it can be paid, I would
respectfully request that you have it so certified & forwarded to this
Bureau. |
| Very respectfully yours |
| Alfred L. Rives |
