When he encamped the most of the time of his service but was often sent out from the Hills to disperse combinations of Tories with whom both before his enlistment & after he had frequent skirmishes, many of the Wounds of which he still carries; but from the great injury his memory has sustained from his partial affection he cannot give a full description of all his marching during his term of service: but that he continued to serve in said Corps until the first of Nov. 1782 when he was discharged from the service in the State of So Carolina — that he recd a discharge which has been lost many years since, that he hereby requests his entry thereon to a Pension except the present; that his name is not on the roll of any State except N.C. that he has always been a Strong Heart & healthy man until a few years ago when he was taken with the Palsy or a kind

My dear Sir -
I trouble and perhaps unnecessarily, & if so, I shall regret it but assure you it is from honest motives, & to be informed - I have been greatly troubled with old Mr. Carmack's pension - have sent several times to Fayetteville for it & have as often been disappointed - It being always sent back for some alleged informality - sometimes not enough of affidavits, sometimes the words not placed in the papers in proper order & form H. S.
I am informed that you require when a pensioner fails to draw in twelve months, that in addition to the usual formalities accompanying the power of attorney proof must be sent - adducing that the pensioner is still alive - This I glad don't lost time as you will perceive by the power of attorney enclosed which was sent back to me.
I am not disposed to complain at trouble when there is any good & substantial reason for it

Old Mr Carmack is a very old man, living at a distance from the Court House, & I regret that the old man shall be put to the trouble & expense & inconvenience of coming again to the Court House, & I have concluded to take the liberty of submitting his paper to your inspection before he shall be required to do it. — I draw for him his declaration & all his power of atty & never had any difficulty before in getting his money for him, & I confidently believe that the substance of every thing required by you is contained in the power of atty. enclosed to you, which has been sent back from Fayetteville enclosed to you — If this my letter addressed to you is sent to the Pension Bureau or left you will please send it to its proper place, & if the power of atty is sufficient please let it be sent back to Mr Edward Whitting of Fayetteville, that he may draw the money & send it to old Mr Carmack his pension of which he stands in great need it being his only support. — If it will not do please send it back to me with a form that will answer

Please write to me soon on this subject directed to this place Without assistance I am unable to fix the papers I fear to lose the lasts of our Saybrook and Friends & I am of Friends opinion that this old gentleman should soon give this money which is proposed due him & which perhaps he never as much as any man in the United States
