Feb. 4, 1871.
Hon. W. W. Belknap,
Secretary of War.
Sir:
I enclose to you a letter from Milo Kittredge, of New Jersey, who represents himself as a discharged soldier who has lost his discharge by the burning of his house, and desires another. As I suppose the materials for supplying such loss are in your Department, if any where, I respectfully refer his communication to you.
Very respectfully,
A. T. Akerman,
Attorney General.
