Major Judd's inquires as to whether he is considered an agent according to the pertinent Act of Congress. Howell confirms that since this Act is not confined to regimental agents but extends to other persons appointed to distribute certificates, Judd should be considered an agent and is due compensation for his services not exceeding the one percent allowed by Congress. Howell presumes that the sums allowed by Connecticut to its agents will be permitted in other states but this is a matter to be decided by the General Board of Commissioners.
