Land Office, Boston, 2Sth Sept, 1872.
A mistake was made IN a communication that

land copied into the Spy of Sept. 10, stating
certain particulars in relation to grant from
this Commonwealth, to the Soldiers Who served
in the Army Of the revolutionary war. | wish

ed with letters from all quarters, thereby caus-
ing me much time and trouble in answering
them, and putting the Old Soldiers, or their
friends, to much needless expense in conse.
Quence of the erroneous information contained
in SAID communication.
BY The existing Acts of the Legislature of this
Commonwealth, a grant is made of 200 acres of
land to each Of the non-commissioned officers
and privales who enlisted for the whole war,
and actually completed the full term of three
years service and received an honorable dis
charge, (and not to those who enlisted for stat
ed periods) All non commissioned officers and
privates. therefore of said Army, who enlisted
as During the War Men and served three years
after the date of their enlistment (the evidence
of which service is in this ofiice) have only to

discharge was obtained at the end of the War,

them, can select lots and take deeds
