Captain,
The four enclosed cases of Bounty retained were received from Mr H.C. Percy, in a letter dated 17th January. The papers of Nelson Lines and Esquire Massenburg, are correct. Vouchers are enclosed for them to sign. No evidence has been received at this office that the Charles Whitehouse claiming bounty, is the Charles Whitehouse from whom it was retained-

Robert Gatlin Co H. 38th U.S.C.T appears on the lists in this office as having $108 33/100 retained bounty due him. I enclose vouchers for Gatlins Signature, to be returned with the evidence required- In all future cases when application is made for bounty retained under general orders No. 90. series 1864. Dept. Va and N.C. a copy of the discharge papers with affidavit that the person applying is the person therein mentioned,- will be forwarded to these Head Quarters, with the certificate of bounty retained. In cases where the certificate was never received, or has been lost, a copy of the discharge papers, with affidavit, will be forwarded.
