Marengo Iowa County Iowa

Col W.H. Sinclair

Sir
I have the honor to acknowledge the reception of your communication, date 2" enclosing my discharge &c. Had I reflected a moment I should have known that you could not sign a duplicate discharge, but being slightly "rusty" on army regulations, did not think far enough. Am much obliged for the information you furnish. Your Uncle, Mr Adams, I have seen, but not lately. Will deliver your message when I see him again. Think he has two daughters married, living here, will see them in a day or two -
