To the Secy of the Treasury
Sir
Enclosed is the declaration of Abel Hyde a Living Rev. Soldier. Mr. Hyde lives at a considerable distance from me. He sent a an explanation of the 20 dollars by way of Bounty received by him mentioned in his declar- ation, that it was the  bounty doubtful whether it was pay or bounty - It bounty, it was what was coming to him as such on his enlistment, according to his best recollection. It is a matter immaterial I suppose, therefore I send the papers as they are. Yours very humble obedt. Servt.
