Lyman notifies Mr. Lesley that he has finally received the funds sent to Lynchburg, and questions the distribution of paper currency, rather than gold, is spite of Mr. Lesley's assurance that the paper currency is worth five percent more. He outlines his plan for proceeding in his work, and mentions that he may need to travel on foot, due to low funds and a lack of horses available to rent. The letter is written on Dunn's Hotel stationery.
