This is to inform you that your claim for Bounty has been settled by the Second Auditor of the Treasury and that a Disbursing Officer will be at Bowling Green Ky on Wednesday the 9th of April 1873 for the purpose of paying the amount due you. It is important that you shall appear in person promptly at the time and place named.  This letter, together with any papers in your possession that may aid in establishing your identity, should be showed by you to the Disbursing Officer. This letter being intended for your protection against the demands of agents, its contents should be kept to yourself. It is designed for the information of yourself, as claimant; the money that is to be paid you not belonging to, not subject to claims on demand, in whole or in part, by any one else.
The place of payment in Bowling Green can be found by inquiring at the Post Office in Bowling Green for my address.
Have with you at the place of payment the affidavit of two witnesses, whose credibility is testified to under seal, to aid in establishing your identity.  Please acknowledge the receipt of this without delay.

Transcription Notes:
---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-07-17 14:10:54 the right page is a form letter, sent to a number of people. ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-07-18 11:51:47 as there are more than 2 [?] remaining ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-07-18 12:18:33 I just reopened this thirty minutes ago, and it's been closed already... and there are still more than 2 [?] remaining. (there are 5) ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-07-18 14:35:13 A previous transcriber described the table as a 5 column table, but only constructed 4 columns. In order to have the 5th column (the cents column-really a sub-column) render properly, you need to set it up as a 5 column table, which is what I did, adding an extra heading for Amount. If you want to go back to 4 columns, then it needs to be reformatted. ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-07-18 16:11:56 ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-07-20 09:12:00
