Sir
I have the honor to return you the attw of Danl Gould and in reply to inform you that he was unadvisedly inscribed on the roll of pen sioners under the act of 7. June and subsequently struck from the roll when it was discovered that his alleged service was in the Commissary's employment as a teamster. This is not the military service in the contemplation of the act. If he was enlisted and then detailed for service under the Wagon Master Solomon Kimball, he should furnish the names of the officers of the Company into which he was mustered and from which he was thus detailed. The rolls in this office indexed by the alphabetical arrangement of the names of the officers should show all enlistments. Geo. Evans H. K. H.
