Friend Herbert:-
Have received the $60. bonus but haven't my discharge papers as I had it recorded at the Court House at Faribault and failed to go get it.
Some of the questions on the service blank I couldn't answer as I have forgotten.
If it isn't asking to much of you, perhaps you could call for my discharge.
