The letter is from:

Dated May 30 1890. This is a report to the Adjutant General, S. R. Douglas, in Helena. It reads:

"Sir:

1890 letterhead from the "Headquarters National Guard of Montana. [Enlarge_+] [Extra_Large]

The reverse has notes that read,
"R. A. G. O. June 11-90
Helena, Montana,
Dec. 17, 1890.
Examined and approved.
S. R. Douglas Adjutant General"
followed by the signatures and rank of several other officers. Also noted in red on the reverse is the following:

"The law provides that each company upon certain conditions is entitled to $500.00. No appropriation was available to pay the same for 1890 - We do not understand that in such case action upon the part of the board is necessary. Action will be taken when appropriation is made"

The signature is difficult to read. It seems to be Chouinad, in red ink, following the notation that this document was filed "with vouchers 7739-40-41."
