Replies to a letter from Major Heiss received 30 July 1857. Instructs Heiss to send Walker's sword as soon as possible, addressed to Walker at the City Hotel. Inquires if Heiss met General Charles Frederick Henningsen on Henningsen's way north. Expresses gratitude to Heiss for not giving his sword to Mr. Lockridge (possibly Colonel Samuel A. Lockridge), who "has proved himself utterly wanting of credit or confidence."
