Respectfully returned to Captain
Jacob Widaman and attention
invited to endorsement of Adjt
General Terill. It appears that
except six all the rolls of these
Soldiers are on file in the Adjt Genl
offices of Indiana to whom appli-
cation for copies can be made. I
suppose the six men were enlisted
on Enlistment papers and that these
were sent to Adjt Generals Office Washington
