Greensboro Guilford County N.C. April 24. 1829.
The within copy, was handed me by the Clerk of Montgomery Court, with a Request to bring it to this place, and procure the certificate of his Honor Judge Martin, and forward it to the War Department -
I practice Laws in Montgomery, about 60 miles distant and was in that Court when the Declarant was sworn. I was not concerned in the case and never saw him before or since.
I can only say he was a miserable object, and then expressed myself that I wished to God the Secretary of War could see him -
The Superior Court of Guilford is the present Clerk - His Honor the Judge J. J. Daniel left Montgomery before the copy was made out, was the cause of applying to another Judge for the Certificate -
