Dear Sir
You will here find declarations for Elizabeth Hobson Ann Hawkins and Elizabeth Hargapet Mildred Walker You will please forward their certificates to me at this place when you act on them, except Ann Hawkins you will please enclose that to Augustin Vanhook - Vanhook's Store Person Co. N.C.
I have also returned the papers of Ann Wade approved by our Superior Court - There can be no positive proof of the precise time that Robert Wade entered the service of the U.S. - There are some here younger than himself that will give an opinion that he served from a few weeks before the Guilford Battle until the close of the war. There is no soldier living by whom the entire service can be proven fuller than it is. She is undoubtedly entitled to at least two years - You must however decide this and act according to your own convictions of what is right - The proof of the services of James Mitchell, husband of Margaret Mitchell is all lost her declaration was made in open Court and is generally believed
Richard Peede is so far removed from the scene of his campaign that no proof of his services can be obtained farther than is contained in his own declaration
John Walliburton proves actual service for three months he was from home nearly a year - but sick most of the time
Please to let me hear from you as soon as you can conveniently do so
Yrs Respectfully C. H. Gordin
