closing a bill for 60 cents for mending two
canteens and candlestick at Fairfax g. H.,
on Sept. 7, 1861, while the Confederate ar

would have sent .the bill before but having
mislaid his book in which he kept such
charges, he could not recollect the exact
amount, though he remembered perfectly
the transaction, but having found his book
he now sends the bill. He calls Mr.. Hll's
attention to the fact that there is also inter-
est due on the bill but he leaves the amount
to be paid for such interest with him. He
states that about the same time he did work
for some of the "dignitaries" of the army
amounting to abou. IS, but was unable to
collect his bill, and last fall he saw Governor
Lee and mentioned the matter to him when
the Governor promised that he, himself,
would pay him. Under these circumstances
he thinks Mr.. Hill shhuld pay the sixty
cents if not the interest also. Mr.. Hill, who
was with the army at the time, says he re-
collects that his whisky canteens were ire.
