Sir
Enclosed to send you my check no 7718 on the Asst Treasurer at N.Y. for $120.60 in favor of Henry Simmons to pay Bounty due him as per his receipts received.

Is Maj Sinclair now living at Galveston? I have quite a lot of claims to pay there, and could use him.

Respy Yours

Simmons Discharge is returned. It belongs to him.
