We the subscribers practicing physicians of Montgomery County do hereby certify that after a careful examination in the case of Richard Kisby who we understand is now in the pension list roll of the state of Maryland are of opinion that his disability does still continue which disability as he represents to us was caused by the passage of a musket ball through the lower part of his left leg by which the bone was broken & greatly injured. And further that to a degree of disability under which he labors at present in total being no less than the original degree of disability for which he was placed on the pension roll and that the said disability will probably never be removed either in whole or in part.
