 Should any one entitled to Bounty Land, under the late or any subsequent act of Congress. who lives at a distance desire my services to procure their Warrants, they can address me through the Helena Post Office. and their letters will receive prompt atten- tion.
 The applicant is required to state his name, age and residence, including town, county and State: the company, regiment and war he sery- ed in, and the captain of his company; wheth- CT the applicant enlisted or volunteered, and on what day and year, and for what term; wheth- CT he has ever received any Warrant, and if so, for how many acres.
