Secretary of War,
Sir,
In compliance with the wish of Andrew Mc Gausland, late a Lieutenant in the Army of the Revolution, I enclose his Certificate of Pension, and at his instance, have to make known his desire that his pension should be made payable at this Office. He represents, that he expressed his desire, at the time it was issued, that he should receive his pension at this place, and that it has been made payable at Savannah through mistake.
At this time Navy and Privateer pensioners only are paid at this Office, as there are however many pensioners in this State, to whom it would be more convenient as well as less expensive to receive their claims here, than at Richmond. I avail myself, of this occasion, to say, that I would cheerfully take upon myself the discharge of any duties, which may promote their interest or your views on this subject.
I am with great respect, Your obedt Servt Geo. Newton Post.

Andrew McConneland requests to be transferred from District of Columbia to Virginia dated 25 Sept. Transferred to 28 th Sept. 1879 —
