Dear Sir
I have received the power of attorney of John
Ferrell [inserted text illegible] of Russell County Virginia, together with the letters of Harry Smith and Wyndham Robertson Esquires relating thereto which I was by leave to lay before you. In doing so I can only say that under my [illegible] of the regulations of the
Pension office I do not concur in opinion with either with of thou gentlemen, and think a was power is absolutely necessary, in as much as the pensioned is now no more and the original certificate required to be returned. If
however I am wrong, you can order the pension to be paid by the agent at Richmond, and speedily return the enclosed papers to me.
If however as I anticipate, you confirm the objection taken by the agent at Richmond 
I must be that you will favor me with a form adapted to the care as stated & that Ferrell is now dead, leaving I think no children, now  widow - Your early compliance is
respectfully invited by
Yours respectfully
G W Hopkins
