I can find no paper relating to the Shares in Loyal Company. No paper was transmitted by me to Richmond. The Books of the Company contain the evidence of our Fathers interest in the Shares. I have for a long time wished to visit you but the very low state of my wife’s health has prevented me. If I can leave her at night I will come up in a day or two and examine the Ledgers & papers in your possession. Yrs very affecly
