Dear Sir You will find enclosed, the papers entitling my mother to a pension under the late act of Congress. The aforementioned papers, I have caused to be executed, in as signed compliance, with the requirements of the form as possible. I forward to you the certificates of Col's Muter & Marshall, in relation to my fathers service, the former of these to wit, Muter's, establishing clearly and definitely its length & also a duplicate of a agement [agreement] entered in Richmon City in favor of To Archibald Magill, executor Cha's [Charles] Magill of that Magee, for and in consideration of his military services. Should you deem any further evidence of service requisite, ample testimony, I am informed can be furnished from the records of the War Department.  Will you have the kindness my dear sir, to attend to this matter as early as possible, which seems perfectly clear and not to require much consultation. My mother will be entitled to two years and a half pay on the 4th day of September and would prefer if it be not in compliance with the rules of your department, to draw for the remaining two years and a half in advance,
Page 5

The act of 32 declares that the pension, shall not exceed the pay of Captain to wit 480 per year, but I find upon examination, that General Jno [John] Smith, receive $600, such being the case can there be any objection to my father or his widow receiving the like amount. I send you also a power of attorney from my mother to me in reference to the above mentioned pension, will you have the goodness to address me at Winchester there rick by a [phrase illegible] definitely in relation to the above matters, as soon as possible, and forward to me the means of procuring the money with much respect and regard your obedt [obedient] servant A.S. Magill P.S. you will find the certificate of Thomas Allen Tidball that Chas [Charles] H. Clark is a justice of the Peace of Frederick, and I have thought it therefore unnecessary to have it appended to Joseph Kean's Certificate of my mother's remaining unmarried. A.S.M.

Mr. Bradley April the 8 1844 Dear Sir I percieve by the papers, that my Nephew Thomas and yourself have advertized to recover, and collect pensions, my Brother wrote to me sometime ago, that if it could be proved, that my husband, was an aid to Genl [General] Gates I could recover additional pay of ten dollars a month, for the pensions that I have already received. I got two Certificates from respectable men in Winchester that went to prove, that he was certainly an Aid to Gates, John Magill sent them on with my papers of application for the last years pension to Edwards I have received the pension, but Edward says nothing about the certificates sent to him, I wish dear sir, that you, and Thomas would enquire and search into this matter and if any thing can be obtained whatever is right shall be yours, for the trouble you may be obliged to take in the in the business. I think something on the subject might be gained from the papers of the Pinckey family in South Carolina , if you could find out who to write to perhaps that information could be obtained from a member of Congress from that state looking over the public papers in Washington, and enquire of Edwards for the certificates sent to him by John Magill your attention to this business will greatly oblige me My dear son Buckner, mentions in a short memorandom which he
