Act of Congress of July 28. 1866.

On the 2nd Sept 1869 by letter of that date from the Second Auditor of Treasury [[?]] I was notified that the claim had been allowed and the Treasury certificate No 539.350 for $100. forwarded to the Freedmen's Bureau. Here the certificate seems to have stuck ever since. The parties have been impatient about it ever since

On the disorganization of the Bureau, I cannot tell what has become of it. Cannot it be obtained for these poor people?

Your kind attention and early reply will much
