[letterhead F. Upshur Dennis. John Scott, Jr. Law Offices of Dennis & Scott, 51 West Fayette Street. Baltimore,] Jany 5th 1872 [1873]

Messrs. Marston & Crapo Attorneys &c New Bedford

Gentlemen: Some months ago we wrote you in reference to a proposed sale of the log book of the Confederate cruiser "Shenandoah", and learned in reply that the member of your firm who had charge of the Alabama and similar claims was at that time out of the city - but that upon his return the matter should receive his attention.

We have heard nothing fur-

ther from you, and would like to know if we shall consider the negotiation at an end.

Respectfully yrs Dennis & Scott

Dennis & Scott Jany. 5' 1873[2?]
