Letter from Bureau of Navigation (Navy Department) replying to Maitland's request for a certificate in lieu of the discharge for John Reedy. Refers to the act of Congress approved 7 February 1890, which "...prescribes that whenever satisfactory proof is furnished that any commissioned officer, appointed or enlisted man who served in the Navy or Marine Corps of the United states in the War of 1812, the Mexican War, or the War of the Rebellion, has lost his discharge, or the same has been destroyed without his privity or procurement, a certificate in lieu of such discharge shall be furnished to such officer, appointed or enlisted man."
