 Sir : — During the Fall of 1861, the supply of Treasury notes is- 
 sued being inadequate to meet the public engagements, a temporary 
 arrangement was made with sundry banks of the Confederacy to 
 furnish the necessary funds to make up the deficiency. 
 
 The Act, chap, xiv, approved December 19, l86l, legalizing the 
 transaction, appropriating $10,000,000 to redeem tlie obligations of 
 the government on that account. The amount actually received 
 from them was $10,602,132 24, which will necessitate a further ap- 
 propriation of $602,132 24. Be pleased to request that this ap- 
 propriation be made. 
 
 Very respectfully, 
 
 Your obedient servant, 
 (Signed) JOHN N. HENDREN,
