Chas Cochran Esq
Downesville Cal.

Sir.

I am in
receipt of your favor of the 22d inst -

Mr Geiger who is now
in this City; has certified to your
account for six months pay at
$60 per month ($360) which will be
transmitted to the Department with
my recommendation for its payment -

The claim for extra
pay you send, can not be certified
to by Mr Gregor, as it conflicted with
his account already [illegible] -

I have understood
that you are advocating Mr
Douglas claim I hope such
is not the case, you are to old a
democrat to be found absent from
the ranks of this period -

Yours Truly
J. Y. McDuffie
