Sir;

I have read the declaration of Bartlett Cox, now an invalid pensioner, who claimed a further pension under the Act of Congress passed [illegible] June 1832 for service rendered in the 10 Virginia regt of two years. There is no evidence whatever [illegible] accompanying his papers or upon the rolls of the office that he ever served at all in the state or continental line of Va - He may have served with militia for that period under Capt Lucas the officer named in his original papers. The papers are placed on file waiting proof of service.

Boydtone Mecklenburg County Va
July 17th 1846

Dear Sir

Barlett Cox of this county as a Revolutionary soldier has been drawing for a number of years a pension - I think $48: [illegible] semi-annual. The 25th of dec last he died - leaving no widow - but children who or a part of whom are in this county - I understand he has not drawn his pension for more than 12 months previous to his death, owing to the paper not being properly prepared - Can you see up to what time he has drawn - The [illegible] can only now I presume be drawn by his children under the act of Congress which [illegible] 1832 - if so will you send me the form of the paper to make [illegible] to draw.

If it is not asking too much of you, will you attend to some [illegible] in the war office for me - Major John Wimbish late of the County of Halifax Virginia was a Soldier of the Revolutionary War - he was in the whole of the war - apart of the time he was promoted to the command a Major - perhaps a considerably part of the time he was major in command. He served principally in the northern [illegible]. He has left no widow but some children & grand-children living - I presume there must be considerable pension due - & if not more than probable that there can be done things [illegible] in the War department in relation

Page 18

to him - 

There is another case about which I wish you to give me some information. Thomas Prichett of this county was a Soldier of the Revolution - he served many years. He married before the year 1794 or 1790. He left a widow & [illegible] sons. The widow is dead & one of the sons - that son, who is dead, has children in this county - are the [underlined] living son and [underlined] grand children now entitled to receive what Thos Pritchett was entitled to receive [illegible] a pension - if so you will please inform me - I have not the whole of the act of Congress in relation to pension before me now - Its some time ago I examined them or a part of [illegible] in relation to pension - I [illegible] I hope I am not asking too much to attend [illegible] [illegible] [illegible] - a gentleman told me you would give me all the [illegible] information - 

I am very respectfully Mr. [illegible] [illegible] Jno Goode
