Sir:
Will you please send to my address a copy of the records, made when pensions were granted, of William Williams , a Revolutionary soldier from Virginia at time of war, but from Ohio when pension was granted. I think he was with Greene in the Carolinas. Also, of John Allison , from Ohio, in the War of '12. By so doing you will confer a favor.
Yours very truly, Violetta Allison.
