Sir
The poor old man on whose business I now address you having walked from his residence in Washington County, twice to Raleigh a distance there and back each time of 300 miles, walking about ten to 20 miles a day and resting him- self on the side of the road when tired, and not having perfected his business agreeably to the requisition made of him in Mr Edward's letter dated Jan 10. 1821 which is now closed; is, I hope a sufficient apology for me to interfere & trouble you with another consideration of his claim. And this I have the more readily undertaken, as some business has brought me to Raleigh from near the old man's residence.

The objections to the allowing of the claim, are 1 st That Col Armstrong did not command the 4 th Regiment, & 2 nd That the Applicant's name is not to be found on the Rolls. Neither of these objections can be entirely removed: But when it is considered that some of the Army Rolls have been burned; that those on hand are but copies; & that the applicant's name is to be found in the Comptroller's office as a private, that his claim as a private was £62.12.6 & that this sum was paid to one Sanders for the Applicant's account; (all of which the Comptroller's Certificate (enclosed will prove) and when it is considered also that the words "4 th Regiment" is a matter of the old man's memory, & that it might have been the 2 nd of the 8 th Regiment, in the 2 nd under Col Murphy, in the 8 th under Col

Armstrong, that the applicant served instead of the 4 Regiment. I say when these things are considered I cannot but hope the old man will have so far perfected his Claim & satisfied the objections as for it to be passed without difficulty. If however further testimony is wanted, the old man must travel to Surrytown County distant about 100 miles, and take the deposition of one Forbes, or Forbes or Forbes there, that served in the army with him. The applicant is poor old, honest, temperate & described. Please address an answer to me at Plymouth NC

In march last, I transmitted to you from Raleigh, the vouchers & application of Caleb Collins for a Pension under the Act or Acts of Congress allow pensions to the soldiers of the Revolutionary war - ; And since that time, Mr. Collins who is now with me, and who desires me to write this letter, has not heard any thing touching the fate of his application - Mr Collins desires me to ask, whether his application will succeed, and if not, that you will

Cause his papers to be referred to him at this place, with such observations concerning his petition as will point out to him the propriety of abandon- ing his hope of a pension, or teach him how to procure it. Your attention to this application is respectfully solicited, and will oblige Mr Collins, as well as confer a favor on Yours Ob ly H is Ser v t M. Turner
