Mr. Adderly to Mr. Layard

Dear Mr. Layard: I enclose a letter to the man in the federal army of whom I spoke to you, which you were so good as to say you would have forwarded.

His parents are ready to give any sum up to £50 for his discharge, which I will guarantee. The man received $300 on the 2d of March, 1864, as half of his bounty-money, and $13 a month’s pay ever since.

He enlisted for three years. His address is as on the enclosed letter.

G. B. ADDERLY.

A. H. Layard, Esq., &c., &c., &c.
