It was the deant subjects to others of a more agreeable character, which close the general correspondence of the Executive for the year 1861. On the twenty-sixth day of December, the Governor received a letter from the Executive Committee of the Soldiers' Reliexpeditionary corps soon to sail, and not a portion of the troops to be raised by General Butler, under order of Sept. 10, 1861.

The Governor transmitted General Wool's letter to General Devens, who wrote an answer to it Feb. 22, in which he gives an interesting account of this money. He said that the money properly belonged to the Fifteenth Regiment; that, in the winter of 1861-62, he sent to Captain Studley, in Richmond, two hundred dollars for the benefit of the prisoners there, belonging to the Fifteenth Regiment.

The money had been sent to him by some friends in Boston, after the disaster at Ball's Bluff, and was part of a larger sum ($1,000), to be expended in any way he thought proper.
