My dear Sirs:
In the Report of the Secretary of War for 1835, vol. 2, page 37, I find that Sabrit King , of Albemarle County, Virginia, was a private in the Virginia line and that he received a pension in 1819. It is also stated that he was 75 years old, but it is not clear whether he was 75 years old when he received the pension, (1819) or 75 at the time the Report was issued, (1835).
I was told at the Virginia State Library that your records may throw some light on this point and that they may also contain information not included in the Report. I should like very much to secure this data and your assistance would be very much appreciated. Please notify me if there is a charge for this.
Very truly yours,
(Miss) Margaret V. Jones.
