Respected Sir
I must again request the examination of the claim of William Beasley - the objection made to it, is the residence of the applicant - which the examining officer must have overlooked for the residence is set forth in the declaration to be in Cornituck County N.C. Carolina and included under the occupation of the applicant. The
difference of 3 days which exist between Lieut. Hills certificate & the applicant, may be accounted for from the loss of time & the imperfection of the memory
