Sir:
I herewith return to you the letter of Mr. William Smith, with the power of attorney enclosed, which you left with me, to make an examination for the services of Richard Norman as a Soldier of the South Carolina Line of the Army of the Revolution, and have to inform you that an examination so far as could be, from the information forwarded, has been made; but without finding any thing in relation to that soldier. It is possible that the Office of the Commissioner of Pensions, may afford the information sought.
Respectfully
Your Obt. Sert
Robt J Atkinson
Auditor.

J. Clarke Esq
D. Sir
I send you a power of atty. thinking it may give you access to some papers by which we can establish the claim of this man Norman for his father's Richard Norman Services. Never has been any claim filed, there are three heirs. I have no doubt the claim is a good one. States, his father was with Capt. or Genl. Marion, Capt. or Maj. Horry was in command also in same neighborhood, Recollects Capt Maj. or Col. Sumpter also, was engaged in South Carolina Service during the whole war, cannot recollect as to battles &C.
I would like to jump up this case, if possible. His father died about 1807.
Truly yours &C
William Smith
