My dear General:-
When you kindly looked up the pension matter of my great-grandfather, William Clark Jones , you wrote me that the commissioner of pensions would send me a copy of the record. I have never received it and would be very glad to get it. If you can stir him up a little I will be under many obligations.
Very truly yours,
