It has been suggested to me here that the letter, (which was in- trusted to the goverment conveyance) has never reached you, but as this is only a matter of surmise I do not wish to trouble you with another long letter, unless I knew that you had not received my former one, and that a statement of the .case is desirable or necessary to en- able you to present the claim I send this by private conveyance and hope you will find time write me by return of same person Yours truly HENRY GREER .[Addressed:] Hon Genl.
