After examining those two papers I hope you will be good enough to return them to me as they are the only vouchers which I have in my possession relative to my pension, if or if not a duplicate can be issued in my favour from the enclosed evidence you will confer a favour upon an old soldier by informing as soon as convenient which will be done - if are any thing which I .....(statement continues of second page)

                                 Yours truly
