Inclosed I return my former application for a Pension which was sent back to me for further proof of service. To obtain such evidence I have been obliged to travel on foot more than sixteen hundred miles, and to suffer hardship hardly inferior to those of my military service. But I trust my exertions will not be [Illegible]. I have been so fortunate as to find among the living two of the soldiers who personally knew my service. David Bryden whose deposition was by mistake written on the back of my former application and Benjamin Sherwood. With this testimony together with the certificate of Governor Galigher I trust that my claim will be considered satisfactorily established. If that as I trust, should be the case, it is my request that the certificate of my Pension may be forwarded as early as may be to Eliphar Perkins Esq. Postmaster of Athens Town, County of Athens, Ohio or to Henry Bartlet Esq Clerk of the Court of the County of Athens, either way whom will convey it safely to me. With great respect I am your Obed Sert David Dailey by his [Illegible] Joseph Dana
