Head Quarters Supt. 9th Dist. Va.,
Fort Monroe, Va. June 21. 1866.

Bvt. Brig. Gen. O. Brown.
Richmond, Va.,

General; 
I have the honor to request information in relation to bounties for freedmen discharged from the U.S. Naval Service. 

What bounties are offered? From what dates, or times of enlistment? And for what periods of Service. 

I would also request a supply of blanks for claims for Naval bounty.

It is often difficult to find white men to made affidavit to freedom of freedmen, required by Gen. Howard's letter, while there are colored men who know the fact, and are abundantly able to make the affidavit. Would not such an affidavit be received? 

With Great Respect, I am, Sir 
Your obedient Servant
S C Armstrong
Supt. 9th Dist. Va.,
