'I highly approve of your efforts to
have the rates increased, but / think
that the bill introduced by Mr.. Madden

should be passed. Many boys were in
the service during the latter part of
the war, but after Gen. Lee surrendered
they just went home without waiting
for a regular discharge. Many of these
did good service during the war, but
are now classed as deserters.
