Dr Sir I have been requested by a daughter of a certain Seth Rogers of Cabarrus County N.C. to inquire what is due her father for his services in the war of the rebellion. She says he was with Genl. Patten's Ford when he was killed. He was also in a Battle on or near the Santee River S.C. in his company. She has heard him speak of John Russel & also Martin who was killed by his side by reference to papers in your office just as you may find some which will throw some light on the matter. also the balance due the heirs of Kinchen Martin who died some twelve or fifteen years since he drew his pension up to his death.

Sir, The declaration of Kinchen Martin is here with again returned - He relinquishes his claim as an officer - When the declaration was first sent back, the only objection stated was, its want of proper authentication - He is now unable to prove his services as an officer in the way required - tho' he knows many individuals who have received pensions with the same proof that he has offered - The objection known is at once removed by his waiving the claim as an officer, and he expects pay as a private, as stated in his declaration -
Your O bl Servant,
