Dear Sir:

Answering your communication of the 15th instant we beg to say that we have no record of Army Cases prior to those listed in our catalogue of 1868. We inclose lists of

The U.S. Army Field Case

The "  " Staff Surgeon's Capital Operating Case and

The "  "    "        "          Minor      "              "    -

from our catalogue of 1868 -

The latter would seem the nearest to your list.

The case to which you refer must have been made in the early sixties and was probably taken from our stock or made for some individual surgeon as was frequently the case during the Civil War.

If we can be of any further assistance we beg that you will advise us.

Your obedient servants,

George Tiemann & Co.
