Sir:
upon an examination of the declaration of Duncan
Campbell, I find that he claims to have served in all
8 months, the whole of which, except the first tour of three
months is of a doubtful character; the second tour of
three months, "Stationed at Rap Creek in preparing Coal
for Smith work, is wholly inadmissible, hence the claim
must be rejected. The papers on placed upon file
I am Respectfully
Your Obedient Servant
