Written from Richmond, Virginia, a letter to the House of Representatives, in full: "I herewith transmit for your information a communication from the Secretary of the Navy, in response to your Resolution of the 16th inst, asking the amount required to meet claims upon the 'government for vessels and other property seized by the Naval and military authorities for the use of the government.' I recommend an appropriation of the amount, and for the purpose specified."

On September 16, 1862, a day before the Battle of Antietam, the Congress of the Confederate States passed a resolution tendering thanks to Commander Ebenezer Farrand and Captain Augustus Drewry for their victory at Drewry's Bluff five months earlier, with the motion likewise entitling reparations to Âall who contributed thereto. With JeffersonÂs estimates taken into account, Congress passed an act Âmaking appropriations for the Executive, Legislative and Judicial Expenses of the Government, with claims for seized vessels totaling to $10,237.50.Format: LS
