Louisburg N.C. June 6 th 1864
Dear Sir: I inclose you some papers, certificates &c. I wish you to examine them & answer me as soon as you can, stating whether or not they are made out right - and if not, send me directions in every particular. The facts are these - as you will see from the papers, John Long, now a resident of this State, and who is seeking for the pension, due for the past services of his father in the Revolutionary War, was & is one of the sons of the deceased. Henry Long - and has obtained the various certificates, inclosed to you, one from the Comptroller of this State showing that "Henry Long" received pay for services rendered during the war of the Revolution - One other from Henry Long (the other surviving brother to John) showing the time of the deaths of his father & mother - two others showing that they lived together as man husband & wife until the death of the former - and that the widow died four years after without ever drawing a pension - and one from John Long to the effect that his father never drew a pension. I am unacquainted with the law on Pensions - Please answer me in full. Are the papers made out correct? if not send full instructions how they should be made out.

And when the papers are correctly prepared can John Long draw a pension, if so, can he draw it from the death of his father? Any information you may give me on this will be thank- fully read. An early reply is solicited.
Respectfully you — M. Sankford
