Harrisburg, Jan 12^th 1861

Hon Jno Walls

Dear Sir

I have closed up

my Treasury Account ready to hand over to my successor it comes out to the penny. I feel that my last act in the office should be to return thanks to my bondsmen. To say that I am grateful to you is not saying half what I mean. I hope that whenever and wherever you see that I can serve you You will let me know that I may have the pleasure to repay to some small extent the kindness you have done me I feel that I owe you and Mr Cameron[?] so much that no commands that you can give will not be complied with if in my power

Truly Your freind

Eli Slifer
