       Dear sir
                     I sent you this note at the request of Ala Mr Means who says that some time ago. Samuel Jeffery Jeffers, a revolutionary soldier applied through J. B. Combs of Washington City for a pension. He is not able to lia whether the claim has ever been admitted. He wishes this information Jeffers is dead & left no family except a daughter now old almost helpless. I send you a copy of the letter from the conttroller of S.C. as to his service - which it seems was sent to Washington some time since - would she not receive pension allowed her father before his death?
                    Your friend G. Booso
