Says the bearer of this letter, Mr. Peck, was in a company of artillery artificers under Captain Post. Says that this unit was raised for 2 years and is therefore excluded from any allowance for the depreciation of their pay. Says that the policy that dictated that measure has ceased to operate and Congress has made a determination to give justice to all individuals for their past services. Adds that he believes they should be allowed compensation for the injuries they have sustained in the depreciation of their pay.
