Thomas Overton Moore at Camp Moore, La., writes B.L. Defreese, the state treasurer at Opelousas, explaining how he took $4,000,000 in Confederate treasury notes from the Louisiana State Bank in New Orleans before the city fell to the U.S. Navy. He sent $2,500,000 to the Confederate government to pay Louisiana's war tax and sent almost all the rest to the temporary capital at Opelousas where Defreese may access it.
