Letter from G. W. Terrell to Sheriff David Rusk about “missing” tax money from Nacogdoches Co. In previous correspondence Rusk suggested the evidence was lost in a fire. Terrell writes Rusk that the fire was only for the books of the Secretary of Treasury but not for the entire Treasury Department. Terrell assures Rusk he deposited the money with the Secretary of the Treasury and there is record of the transaction in the Treasury Department books. Terrell also informs Rusk about the “loose manner” of the Treasury Department and that another tax payment presumed lost or stolen by Rusk for $2,500 has been found, so he need not worry about that, 3/17/1846
