Sir
I am informed by Mr. Ezekiel Whaley a citizen of Lincoln county. that George Wallace a citizen of the county of Pitts in the State of North Carolina is now a prisoner on pay of $18 per month as Hope Major in the revolutionary war. Mr. Whaley states to me (and I have no doubt of the correct- ness of his statement) that before Mr. Wallace terms of service expired he deserted war, taken and tried by a court martial and condemned and returned to the ranks as a private. and that he Whaley was appointed in his room, The object of this communication is simply to know how Mr. Whaley is to proceed to draw the pay as Hope Major which he considers himself unjustly deprived of. Mr. Wallace was first Major to 2 nd Regiment. commanded by Col. Pitt. after Mr. Whaley was appointed he served to the end of the war, any communication which you may think proper to make please to address to Mr. Ezekiel Whaley - Houston etc.
With Sentiments of great respect
I am Sir your obedient
servant
