Honble Jas E. Heath Comm of Pensions,
Sir.
I have the honor to submit the accompanying declaration of Thomas Moody of Alabama, explanatory of the papers on file in the Pension Office, in support of his applications for a pension. It will be seen that Thos Moody was not a teamster, but a soldier at the time of his waggon & team was in the service. Mr Moody states that as it is impossible for him at this remote period to furnish documentary proof of his commission as a recruiting officer in his second tour, that he submits to the Department to allow that term as a private, and to compute his pension accordingly in connection with the other tours of service. He hopes that the Department will find no difficulty now in allowing his pension.
very respectfully your Obt. Servt.

Dr. Sr.
I see from letter of H.C. Spaulding Esq of 20th Sept. to Col. Macon that he proposes bringing Doctor Moodys Pension Case before Congress. which was dismissed by the Pension agent I have been acquainted with the Doctor since the year 1827 & have listened frequently to his narratives of the Defeat of Gates, no person ever for a moment doubted but that he was engaged in the Revolutionary war & lost his Waggon as he states. He is now near one hundred years old nearly helpless & does not have a very perfect recollection & is in much trouble about his pension, He got his papers destroyed by fire in about the year 1829 I would be much gratified if you would take an interest in his case & get him pay for his waggon if no more I feel every confidence in saying that he is as much entitled to pay as any others who have been paid - 
Any thing you may be able to do for his relief will be duly appreciated by very truly your Friend A. Carleton
