Sir,
Mr. Munday has requested me to transmit to you his application to be placed upon the pension roll. Since it was examined he went to Virginia and procured additional evidence which was told would be sufficient and is in hope if the rolls of the State of Virginia have not been rec d at the Dept t of War, you will be pleased to have it again reported on and if it still should be found insufficient he will be under the necessity of going again to that State which he is very little able to do upon account of his bad health and his reduced circumstances. I have been acquainted with Mr. Munday for many years and believe that he is justly entitled to the assistance of his Country and few persons stand more in need of it.
Very respectfully
