Your letter dated the 14th. instant was duly accessed. Having no documents on hand to show how long Daniel Gould had served in the Regiment commanded first by Colonel Alden, & then by myself, & knowing that the rolls of the Regt were in the Secretary's office, I sent to him this morning for a certificate of the said Gould's services, which having received, I now have the pleasure of enclosing the same.
