Dear Sir
We have your valued from 8th Inst. this morning.
Mr. Beaman returned to Washington Saturday afternoon. He reports everything as looking very favorable indeed in regard to his position. We will send him your letter & he may have some suggestions to make as to Genl Tyler & Messrs. Bradford & Folger --but for ourselves we cannot see but the matter stands all right in that quarter.

We remain
Yours truly
Barling & Davis
