Washington Feb. 19th 1863.

Dear sir,
A friend writes to me that
Joel F. Hill has an account against the
U. S. for supplies furnished Henley &
McDuffy for the Indians in California
while they were Supts. Will you please
inform me if this account (for $1310)
has been approved, when the money
will be forthcoming, when it will be
paid, &c that I may inform my
correspondent.

Respy
A. A. Sargent,
Cal.
