Signed by Major Francis Lee. "Lt. U.S. Grant, Commissary & Regimental Quartermaster, 4th Infantry, had deposited in the trunk of Capt Gore, 4th Infantry, for safe keeping, the sum of $1,000 public money...and the trunk [was] stolen...[N]o blame can attach to Lt. U.S. Grant,... that the place he deposited it was the most secure in the camp, and they exonerate him from all censure."
