Dear Sir:-
I have your valued favor of the 11th, L.W.B. -W. 7844 giving information concerning military record of Josiah Hundley a soldier of the Revolution who received pension from August 13th, 1832. 
As there seems to be some discrpancy from the family tradition, I will again trouble you to investigate further. The Josiah Hundley I refer to was a native of Amelia County, Va., and while it is possible he may have enlisted in Hanover County which is perhaps 30 miles distant, still his wife's name was Eliza Motley and you state that his widow's name was Ann. If not too much trouble would you kindly see of there two men enlisted in Virginia regiments by the name of Josiah Hundley. The one who is my kinsman was from Amelia. Thanking you for a reply, Iam,
Very truly yours,
William B. Watkins

Sir
Enclosed is a certificate for a pension in favor of James Hundley. I presume that a mistake has been made in the name of the applicant as no such person as James Hundley has ever made a declaration in the court of this County for that purpose. But Joshua Hundley forward on his declaration made sometime past and returned for amendments which amendments have likewise been made and forwarded on to the war department several months ago and as yet no answer has been received to his application.

Yours
