EXPLANATORY NOTES.
Quere V. In a case where the applicant cannot, by reason of the loss of memory, state precisely how long he served, he should amend his declaration by making an affidavit in the following words: 
"Personally appeared before me, the undersigned, anJustice of the Peace &c. A. B. who, being duly sworn, deposeth and saith, that, by reason of old age, and the consequent loss of memory, he cannot swear positively as to the precise length of his service, but according to the best of his recollection he served not less than the periods mentioned below, and in the following grades; For ____ year _____ months, and ________ days, I served as a ____ ______ _____ For _____ ______ months and _____ _______ days, I served as a _____________; and for such service I claim a pension.
Page 20

3
It is important in all cases to determine with precision the period for which each applicant served, and the particular rank he held, as the law directs the pension to be paid according to the grade of the pensioner and the length of his service.. The Use of the phrase about three or four months is too indefinite, and all such qualifying expressions are objectionable. Some persons who apply for pensions merely state that they served two years in the militia, &c. without specifying the tours; the names of the officers, and other particulars respecting their service. This form of a declaration is highly objectionable. It must in every case be clearly shown under what officers the applicant served; the duration of each term of engagement; the particular place or places where the service was performed; that the applicant served with an embodied corps called into service by competent authority; that he was either in the field or in garrison; and for the time during which the service was performed, he was not employed in any civil pursuit.
†QUERE XIV. Proof of Service.
In a case where the name of the applicant is not found on the records of the Department, he must prove his service by two credible witnesses, who are required to set forth in their affidavits the time of the claimants entering the service, and the time and manner of his leaving the same, as well as the regiment, company, and line to which he belonged. The magistrate who may administer the oaths must certify to the credibility of the witnesses, and the official character and signature of the magistrate must be certified by the proper officer, under his seal of office.
QUERE XVI. Mode of authenticating papers.
In every instance where the certificate of the certifying officer who authenticates the papers is not written on the same sheet of paper which contains the affidavit, or other paper authenticated, the certificate must be attached thereto by a piece of tape or narrow ribbon, the ends of which must pass under the seal of office of the certifying officer, so as to prevent any paper from being improperly attached to the certificate.
In every case where the clerk of the court, or other certifying officer, has no public seal of office, the certificate of a member of congress, proving the official character and signature of the certifying officer, should accompany the papers.

Hon. Commissioner of Pensions,
Washington, D. C.
Dear Sir:
If the information can be obtained without inconvenience or embarrassment, I would be glad to get the military record of my Great Grandfather, Henry Albright, who was granted a pension by the United States Government for service as a soldier in the Revolutionary War - 1776 -1783.
The pension was granted, I have been told, some time between 1825 and 1835, may be in 1833.
He was a North Carolinian and served with the Regular Army or with North Carolina Militia, and I understand when mustered out was a Sergeant.
I would be glad to be informed as to his Company, Regiment, Brigand and Army, and if the records show, would like to know the names of his Commanders and what battles he participated in. We have been told he was captured and placed on board of a British prison ship off Charleston, S. C., or Wilmington, N. C., from which he escaped by swimming ashore in the night.
I feel that it is an imposition to ask for this information, but have thought your perfect system of tabulating the names of these old pensioners would enable some one in your Bureau to readily locate the data, which will be greatly appreciated by,
Yours Truly,
