Sorry.  I'll do this another way.  I don't think these lists allow attachments.


I have a Certificate of Release of Prisoner of War dated June 17, 1865. 
Part of the printed certification is carefully ruled out.  Does anyone know 
the significance of the deletion?

I hereby Certify, That       (name)      Prisoner of War, having this day 
taken the Oath of Allegiance to the United States, as prescribed by the 
President in his proclamation of December 8th, 1863, is in conformity with 
instructions from the War Department, hereby released and discharged.

The words ruled out are in the middle -- as prescribed by the President in his proclamation of December 8th, 1863.
