Sir I am requested to intrude your early attention to this subject and to inform you that should his name have been erroneously omitted on the master roll in your office it will be in the applicant's power to procure further evidence of his services by traveling to Baraboo county but his absence from life would require an inquiry of that trouble unless absolute necessity would require it.
Yrs with respect
