DEAR sIR-My brother-in-law, Mr.. Samuel s.
Cox, desired me on his return from Florida last
week to send you the enclosed check for $4,Sl2. 1t
Ia the sOcalled back pay for the last Congress- OF
which he was member from the Sixth district OF
this city. Shortly after the adjournment he de-
posted this sum as q special fund with my
bank, to be deposited in some way otherwise
than for his own aggrandizement. He be-
lieved that this fund was his to dispose OF,
or, as he phrased 1t, he was "trustee with
out interest,"" except that general interest
federal taxation. He has, by vote and speech upon
the bill when before Congress, expressed his
views against this increase OF salary without re-
Meeting on his brother congressman Me begs me
to say TO you that this act OF his has only been de-
layed by bereavement which has preoccuped
his time since the adjournment. He leaves TO you
the proper mode OF conveying the money into the
Treasury. II you think it best to cancel so much
to receive this fund.- and as it was not part Of his
contract when ne entered upon his duties, and as
he cherishes the good will OF his proper constitu-
ents IN Ohio and New York, he desires to make his
position OF the money Very truly yours, &C.,
JOHN A.. HARDENBURGH.
