Com. Dep Ind Off. Indian Affairs

Dear Sir,

My son Dr. P. A. Quinan, is now with his Reg on the Rappahannock. He gave me directions to open his letters in business and attend especially to his claim on your Bureau.

Your letter informs me that the amount $900 will be paid. Many thanks for your prompt attention to this matter.

I write to remind you that the draft is to be made payable to my order, as he is now at the seat of war and cannot attend to it. He left an order with your Chief Clerk to his effect.

Very respectfully yours Obt Sev
Tho. H. Quinan
