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
