I certify that I have examined and adjusted the claim of Charles Anderson Decd. Private Co. B 11^th Wisconsin Vols and find there is due him from the United States One Hundred and Forty Four dollars and Seven cents, being for pay from July 1^st to September 9^th 1862 and for Bounty act July 22, 1861”. The document goes on to read that Anderson’s father was collecting the pay. The reverse has handwritten information which was written and signed by a notary public.
