Sir,
The affidavit of Mrs. H. Burton in the case of Mildred Tally, widow of James Tally does not furnish the proof of her husband's service heretofore required.
The alleged service of Tally in the North Carolina Line must be established by the Certificate of the Secretary of State of that State or by the testimony of two or more witnesses who were themselves in service with him and whose names were found upon the record in the Secretaries  Secretaries office of V to  and  admiral  enigma and the date of their names has been received since my letter to J. B. Howard of 29 Ultio.

The rolls of NC show Tally, to have been £12 pounds. The rolls you know of at N.C. are in complete, both here & and in Raleigh.
