Commissioner of Pensions, 

Dear Sir —

At the request of Joshua Davis, one of the heirs at law of Joshua Davis Sr., deceased, who was a soldier in the Revolutionary War, and whose application for pension is, and proof V.O., V.O., filed in the Pension Department, I drop a line of inquiry concerning the claim which was prosecuted by James K. McAnally, Esq., of Grainger County, Tenn.

This son and heir at law of said deceased desires to know the situation of the claim — he has another brother who employed Mr. McAnally to attend to this case, but this brother, he informs me, will not give him any satisfaction with regard to the claim; and being an equal heir in the result of this matter, is much grieved by the acts of the party engaged in the business, and hopes that you will favor him with a correct statement of the whole affair.

Most truly yours,
(b’t) Servant,
Wm. G. Payne

L. P. Waldo, Esq.
Commissioner P.O.
