Dear Sir
We have been favored with your address by Messrs Glidden & Williams of this City who informs us that you are preparing & forwarding claims for premiums paid for war risks during the late Rebellion consequent upon the depredations of the "Alabama" & other vessels of her class. We shall be glad to know the terms upon which you are acting as our claims on that account are something upwards of $30,000
