In this letter to the head of the House Ways and Means Committee, Judah Benjamin copies a letter from Sylvester Mowry, a member of the boundary commission in charge of surveying the California-Nevada boundary. Noting the "great value" of the Washoe and that the "people of the Washoe are very anxious to have the work done." Mowry asks that the funding for the survey be increased from $55,000 to 100,000.
