[?] Office
January 24th/55
Sir,
In reply to the letter of James W. Newman Esq of the 12th inst addressed to you relating to the claims of Mrs Davis and Mary Youngblood, You are informed that it will be necessary for Mr Newman to furnish this office with the given names of Mrs Davis & to set forth in what State her husband drew his pension that this Office may know to whom & what case he refers. In reference to the claim of Mrs Youngblood, the rolls of this Office do not show any person by the name of Joseph Youngblood (whom she claims to have been her husband & a pensioner) a pensioner on the South Carolina roll; it is possible he might have been a State pensioner
Page 14

Should State definitely[?] where & under what act Said Youngblood was pensioner (if he was a pensioner) that we may know to what case he refers. The letter of Mr Newman[?] is herewith enclosed.
