and served three months and three days as orderly sergeant in Captain

Dr Sir

On the 13th of August last I received your 
leter dated the 5th in which you state an 
error in the computation of my pension has 
been discovered, directing me to return my
Certificate to the Pension Office in order that 
it may be corrected; which I did by the return 
of the next mail which was on the 19th of 
the said month of August.  If you have received
the Certificate, it has not been returned, or it has
not arrived at this office as yet --
I stated in my Declaration that I served as 
a Sergeant who draws some little more pay
than a private; soon after I entered the service
I was appointed a Sergeant and served in 
that capacity until the end of the warr
If you have received my Certificate you will
greatly oblige me by retuning it as soon as 
convenient, as the time has arrived when I am entitled
to draw my pay, living at the distance of 
75 miles from Charleston I have not drawn
on your Agent since last october

Your Respectfully 
Wm. McIntosh
