Dear Sir,
Yours of the 26th Inst I have. I enclose you a Circular indicating the places where Claimants are payable. Catletts place of residence is given on my Rolls, at Evansville Indiana. I must pay him in person and upon his identity being established as the law recognizes. If he prefers, I will pay him at Cairo, or Bowling Green as he may wish. I expect to be at Bowling Green for payments at no distinct day. I can not say when I shall go to Cairo. I must await orders from Washington before paying at either place.
Very respectfully

Transcription Notes:
I cannot tell if there are possible spelling mistakes/different spellings or if I am transcribing wrong, and insight/edits are welcome. - Well for starters this in in English. There are misspellings, but it should make some assemblance of sense when it's done.....it did not. If you can't read the document, just move along to another one. It's better than typing a whole bunch of gobbledygook. Also read the instructions. It will give you hints and explain formatting. ----------------------------- Reopened for Editing 2024-07-17 14:09:11 Reopened-not ready for review ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-07-18 11:25:48 ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-07-18 13:17:22 Henry A.
