To The Honerable L. P. Waldo
Commissioner of Pensions
Dear Sir
While I was in the service of the United States as Lieutenant of the company of volunteer, from Washington County Alabama. In the Indian War of 1836, in Capt Harris Company under Col. Smith,
some of our men lost their horses-- and other plunder while in the service, will you do me the favour to forward to me a copy of the instruction of forms &c necessary to be used in application
for pay for lost horses & other property in the service & will you also inform me whether or not the
children of Revolutionary characters whose parents died previous to 1830, are entitled to a pension in
Page 30

in right of their parents, where the Mother died since 1845, the children, all being over 21 years
old, at the death of the mother -

I will also State to you. That a few years ago. I was employed by Captain Robert Davis, who claim
ed to have been a Captain in the service of the United States in the State of South Carolina during the revolution and I procured him a pension from the State of Mississippi, and applied to, The government of the United States for a pension for him during Mr. Edwards' administration of the pension office and Captain Davis died shortly after in this County in 1838 I believe, before his death the proofs were sent on and I employed T. B. True, to see to it in Washington city but it seems that it was neglected for several years and in 1853. I employed Mr. James S. Knight to see to it shortly after I had employed Mr Knight
Page 31

I received a letter from Mr. True stating that he had full and complete evidence of Captain Davis
service as captain in the Revolution in his possession, and that if I would let him receive the money, in the place of Mr. Knight, there was nothing then lacking Mr. Knight also wrote me a letter stating that he also had complete evidence of the fact and that all that was needed as proof of the heirship, of, Rosier Davis, the son and heir of Captain Davis from whom I have a full and complete power of attorney to act in The case in all matters pertaining thereto- I immediately sent him the proof. of the heirship which has been some six months previous to this but it seems that the claim is not yet
allowed from some cause or otherI suppose from negligence and as. The agent and attorney in fact of
Page 32

Rosier Davis the heir I am willing to give one fourth of the claim of what can be obtained to any person who will look into it and have the claim allowed - will you be so good as to refer me to some gentleman, in Washington, who would be likely to examine into it and get it allowed, for that fee, if you will you will greatly oblige for I am anxious to have the claim disposed of and I feel  also certain that we have already forwarded sufficient proof, to show his service as Captain
in the Revolution and the heirship of his son Rosier, I am sir very respectfully &c
