I desire to know what amount of unexpended appropriation for arms is in your State Treasury; also, what quantity of U.S. muskets, whether of flint or percussion lock, the State holds.

I hav made enquiry to Hon. A. G. Brown on these points—he refer^d me to you with permission to use his name and I will be under great obligation if you will cause the information to be furnished to me, and have the honor to be Very respectfully

Your Obd^t. Servant
