§ Answer to Address [14th July] reported, as follows:—
§ I have received your Address, praying that a Commission may be issued to inquire into the realization of Army Prize Property, and its mode of distribution, and into the cause of the delays which have, in most cases, occurred in its distribution to the Captors, with a view to a remedy for the same.
§ And I have given directions that a Commission shall issue for the purpose which you have requested.
