Dear Madam:
I advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, S. 37482 , it appears that Isham Talbot enlisted in Bedford County, Virginia in February 1776, as private in Captain Gross Scruggs' Company in Colonel Josiah Parker's Virginia Regiment. He was in the battles of Brandywine and Germantown and was discharged in February 1778.
He was allowed pension on his application executed May 13, 1823, at which time he was sixty-four years of age and was living in Bourbon County, Kentucky.
He died July 30, 1839.
There are no data relative to his family.
Very truly yours,
EARL D. CHURCH Commissioner.

Sir
Enclosed you will receive the necessary documents to prove the claim of Isaac Walbott to a pension from the United States for services rendered in the revolutionary war I should have forwarded them sooner but the pressure of business prevented me —
The Applicant is an honest & truly worthy man, and although he is in extremely indi- gent circumstances, he has heretofore forborne to make application from motives of delicacy, but old age & poverty have superseded those feelings and absolute necessity compels him to ask his Country to remunerate his faithfull services by bestowing him a pension —
If a certificate be granted I will esteem it a favor if you will forward it to me at this place that I may deliver it to him — If there should unfortunately be any informality in the proceedings (which I hope is not the case) please remit the papers with a me- mo: for such correction as you may deem nec- essary — The old man entertains a strong hope of success, & I flatter myself with the belief that his application will be favored —
I have the honor to be very Respectfully, &c. S r

Dear Sir:
Will you be so kind as to give me a record of all the information you have concerning my great-great grandfather, Isham Jalbot , I understand that he applied for and received a pension and would like to have all the data given at that time, also the date of his death.
My grandmother, Mrs. Laura Jalbot Ross, was a charter member of the D.A.R.

but it seems that now more dates and details are required than when her papers were made out. She died when I was a young girl, and of course I don't remember many things she told
me.
I will deeply appreciate this courtesy from you - I want to keep the record clear and definite for my young daughter.
Sincerely Yours
