Dear Sir
I received [illegible] of the 14th [illegible] perhaps I might have been more [illegible] in my communication.  I was not seeking a Pension but [illegible] rendered in the Revolutionary War by Joseph Culpeper who was the father of Joseph R. Culpeper.  Joseph Culpeper died between the years of [illegible] and 1810.  Joseph R. Culpeper is the only legatee.  I would respectfully ask you if the General Government pay for services rendered in the Revolutionary War, provided said service was never paid.  I would be glad to have the Laws on all these subjects.
I am very respect. your obedient servant
