Dictated--R--
                                                                               May 2, 1898
Chas. Ainge, Esq.,
               Atlantic City,
                            New Jersy.
Dear Sr:-
             Your favor of April 29th, offering to look up Spanish spies
in the state of Florida, duly received. The Governor has no funds what-
ever with which to employ such an agent; and consequently I beg leave
to return you herein the papers enclosed.
              I should suppose that the war Department at Washington would
have means to employ such an officer. I would be pleased to consider
the matter had the Legislature made any appropriation looking in that
direction.
                                                         Very truly yours,
                                                                        W.D. Bloxham
                                                                                   per [?]
