St Louis Mo Dec the 17th 1866 Dear Sir I have been in the "Claim Business" a long time and write you on this subject. You have under your influence many discharged colored soldiers all of whom are entitled to "Bounty". I will do this if it suits you; I will go to your place, do all the work, furnish all the means and do the right thing with the claimants. I will charge them the legal fees and give you one half of my fees. I will divide my fees with you. If this suits you please let me hear as soon
