[Li?]

From your letter to Col. Johnson of the 25 Alto in the case of Ezra Abbott, deceased [it?] appears that the remainder of the money due on his certificate needs be paid at the Treasury Department in Washington. Will you inform me whether his widow must appoint an attorney in Washington to receive this balance for her, or whether the Treasurer will forward her the same upon her filing in his department the original certificate accompanied with the proper oath of identity and proof of the time of said Abbott decease.

I am Very Respectfully
Your Obed. Serv.

John N. Bedel
