The Banks are all ruined their stockholders will never get a cent. I regret to say that I had about $2000 of yours and it was invested in Confederate Stock to get the best interest - it had been in the Bank of South Carolina - equally bad and all lost. I hope that of the money I forwarded to your mother for you you have something remaining.
