Later he was drafted under Captain Campbell, and served six months.

Mr. Sir
in the case of Agnes Lee for a pension you state that the claim was rejected on the grounds that his name does not appear on records and that the alledged service of six months. The six months service was in two tours 3 months each as tho' if it was stated in the declaration six months it should of been in two tours each three months each I cannot get better proof than I sent, in that case I have written to the county in which she was married but have not received a single word of evidence the Affidavits of the witnesses I sent with the papers. is all the evidence I can produce at this time the certifi- =cate of Capt. Motone sent with the Declaration is all the record I have been able to get in the case-garrison hasle.

Dear Sir,
I have been absent from home two weeks and on my return last evening I found a letter in the office from you dated the 6 th . I sent this morning to Mr. McEnabbs and he came to town, to get his letters of Adms certified, and when I went to put my certificate on them I found that he was not the Administrator of Mrs. Lee - but of John Lee her husband, and I thought it very doubtful whether he could draw the money or not, unless they showed that he was the Adms. of Mrs. Lee. So I advised him not to go down until he could hear from you. - I will give you the case just as it stands and you can write, what you  to  arrange the papers the old man Lee in his life time made a will, in which he gave all his property of every kind to his wife during her life, and then to his heirs, and appointed an executor who died before the old lady, at the death of the old lady, McEnabbs was appointed Administrator with of John Lee dec d with the will annexed and so the letters of Administration issued to McEnabbs, as adms n of John Lee instead of Agnes Lee, if you think the papers that McEnabbs has will so he can come down any time if not he will have

to write until after July court, when letters can issue to him as Administrator of Agnes Lee — so you have the case and you can advise what shall be done. write as soon as convenient — I am very unwell this evening and can not write as much to you as I wish, but I will write you a long letter some of these days giving you the news in general, if you do not come up before I have the chance,

Dear Sir
I promised to give you all the information I can relative to this claim of Agnes Lee. I am not able to tell the precise time that the evidence was forwarded over it but it was forwarded by Wm. H. Ford some time last summer and if Mr Edwards cannot find it he will please to let me know what other evidence he will have in the case and I will try and get it so that the claim may be made a good one. Mrs Lee is an old woman very feeble in health and needs the money but would not want it unless her claim can be made out to the satisfaction of everybody and if Mr Edwards will let me know what other proof he wants I will try to get it.
Also in the claim of Matthew Fox I desire to be informed what evidence is yet necessary to the completion of his claim.

The enclosed letter is from the County Court Clerk where the Administrator lives, and will fully explain the nature of the administration.

The heirs are living remote from each other & cannot conveniently join in a power of Attorney.

I have received a letter from Mr P.P. Porter of Sevier County Tennessee, calling my attention to the claim of Agnes Lee of Ten. now pending in your office - He states, that you informed him some time since, "that the proof was sufficient to establish her claim at the rate of eighty dollars per annum, but if the claim was further urged under the act of July 4 th 1838. further proof must be had as to the services rendered since the marriage" - this, he tells me he has answered, in which he stated, he desired a certificate for the allowance at the rate of eighty dollars per annum, - that he would prosecute the claim further under the act of July 4 th 1838. He states that he has received no reply to this letter, - will you therefore if this is the case, please issue the certificate for the amount to which you consider Mrs Lee entitled under the proof already submitted, and inform me what difficulty presents itself in making the allowance under the act of July 4 th 1838.
