I inclose additional Record evidence, in the Revolutionary Pension claim of David McCall. A pension Certificate was issued in this case, I believe, sometime during the last year, for $50 pr Annum, for the services of David McCall, in the South Carolina State Troops. I have now to ask, that the Certificate above referred to, be cancelled, & that one be issued in lieu of it, which shall embrace the additional term of service in North Carolina, as shown by the Record, a copy of which is inclosed.

That at the last mentioned affair at Waham he acted as a volunteer under Col Daine. Your petitioner further states that he is now seventy four years of age that he has a large family to sustain - and that he is now poor and needy - His wife is still living and the family now with him cannot by their exertions support him in comfort and he is now so infirm that he can cannot labor for his & their support.

Selma Dec. 16 th 1853 Dear L. P. Waldo Washington
Sir
I have been oppressed by some representative of Revolutionary Soldiers to obtain for them in right of their mothers some array of Pensions which under some act of Congress is set apart for them - a member of Congress from South Carolina wrote to their posters stating that he would obtain the amount for 50 per cent - They are very poor people and I think a charge of that amount is entirely too much - The names of the posters are as follows - John Morrow W m Morrow Joseph Morrow - Robert Mc Call & David McCall -
I request of you to inform me if consistent with your duties the proper steps & the charges used with agents who might be secured to attend to getting the amount for Pensions - Your attention will oblige them &
Your obed Servt J. T. Connelley
