The certificate properly qualified to, I have enclosed to you.  And now permit me in the name of my deceased parent to present to you my well wishes and to express earnest hope that you may succeed in procuring a pension.  And may the Almighty enable you to live and enjoy it

February 12, 1827
Sir,
I herewith return the papers in the care of Thom Baker, the evidence being insufficient to authorise [authorize] the inscription of his name on the Pension Roll.  He states that he served to the end of the war, but we have perfect rolls of those who thus served, and I do not find his name on them.  He also stated he served in Captain John Mosby's Company.  It does not appear from the rolls that there was such an officer in the Continental Army.  There was a Capt. Littlebury Mosby of the Georgia line.  John might perhaps have been a militia officer.  If he served under Littlebury Mosby he must prove the fact by the testimony of two credible and disinterested witnesses, who are required to set forth the Regiment, Company and line in which he served, as well as the time of his entering the service, and the time and manner of his leaving it.  The magistrate must certify to the credibility of the witnesses, and the official character and
Page 31

signature of the Magistrate must be certified by the proper officer under his seal of Office.
In answer to your enquiry respecting William Jones, I have to inform you that no officer belonged to Martins regiment, named Scott. - I cannot, therefore, give any information respecting his service.
I have the honor to be
