D. Sperry and Daniel Drew, of New York city, furnished the bonds.
 In 1889 there was some question as tn the wherea bouts of the bonds and their authenticity and Congressman Sperry was asked how it was that he " answered in the following letter to William S. Wells. of this city:

BushneE's reference to it should be sufficient. will, how ever, at your request, state that l was asked by MT. Bushnell to go upon the bond in question simply as a surety to the government for the money ad- vanced in building the. Monitor, and the conditions specified in the govern ment contract.

Bushnell and others. re- ceiving news as the encounter was taking place. When word came that the Monitor had whipped the 'Merri- mac, MT. Bushnell, who was at my side, slapred his hands on my shoul- ders vigorously and said: My dear friend Sperry. your bond is safe

 Miss Ba'four also attended to mak- ing her brother comfortable in hls home, for he never married in spite of the innumerable mothers who set their caps to capture MT. Balfour for their daughters.
