Dear Sir:
There is residing in this county an old man by the name of William Ratcliff who says he has been placed on the roll of Revolutionary pensioners from the state of Virginia that his pension warrant has been lost or mislaid so that he has been prevented from drawing his pension for several years. He wishes to be informed what evidence he must produce to enable you to issue a duplicate pension certificate. He has also forgotten at what period he ceased to draw his pension. Will you furnish the date? Upon answer to the above inquiries will much oblige the pensioner. You will address your answer to me.
Yours respectfully James Poff
Not:
William S. Marcy.
