Fowler Major Wm.

Major
I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 20th inst in relation to Discharged Colored Soldiers writing direct to the commissioner concerning their Claim for Bounty &c  In answer I beg leave to state that I have always endeavored to dissuade them from the practice of doing so, but I find that it is impossible for me to prevent them, as long as their communications are answered.  (no matter how unsatisfactory the answer may be)  The only way to stop them is by paying no attention to their letters, or returning them either to the writer or to this office without endorsement.  They have no cause to write direct, as I am always willing to give them all necessary information, concerning their claims, or to write for the same.
Very Respectfully,
Your Obt. Servt.
A. Coats
1st Lieut VRC in charge
