Washington, Nag 16, 1881.
There being now pending in this
department great numbers OF volun-
teer pension claims which cannot be
satisfactorily verified for want of in
formation which missing records of
discontinued volunteer commands
would afford, and it having transpired
in many instances that officers of the
late volunteer forces have still in their
possession or under their control books
and other records pertaining to their
corps, divisions, brigades, regiments,
and companies, their attention is called
to the fact that all such books and
records should be deposited with this
Office, and they are earnestly requested
to cause the same 10 be forwarded
without delay to the Adjutant General
Of the Army, at Washington, District
OF Columbia.
No expense, other than postage OF
proper express charges (when packages
exceed four pounds, the limit for mai
| parcels), eau be paid by the Govern
uent.
In the interest of the great number
of widows, orphans, and disabled
soldiers whose claims are involved, the
newspapers OF the country are re
guessed to give the substance Of thi
circular the greatest publicity.
