Capt HS Hawkins 
Disbursing officer USA

Dear sir - 
J M Sears, resides in Allen Co. His PO most likely would be at Bowling Green. He is now sick confined to his bed. So soon as I can have him come to Town, I will get him to fix affidavits you sent me, and get you to say when he shall go to receive payout.

Yours
J M Tyler

Transcription Notes:
I believe that the location referenced in the letter may be "Bowling Green" in Virginia It is Bowling Green, but Kentucky, not Virginia. The lower left corner is too dark on my screen, so I hope someone else can read it. I took a screenshot and zoomed in and was able to read the bottom part.
