Western Union telegram, sent by H. Alvord of the Patent Office in Washington, D.C., to Richard Inglis of Detroit on May 23, 1863, and and a sketch of two halved cylinders with a parallel attached array of semi-circular pieces (perhaps a device for cutting pills). The telegram reads as follows:
To Richard Inglis
Det. May 23, 1863

You can get the body without much trouble- See adjutant Barns who has gone home.
