Mr. Sir
Enclosed you will receive the application of Hilary Amaricks for a pension, under the late pension law: if his claim should be allowed please forward the certificate to him (under cover to me) at this place. He would like, very much, to have it payable at Nashville Ten., since Mobile is so remote and inconveniently situated from this place. If however the Bank at Decatur, a branch of our own state Bank, has accepted the agency offered by the late act of Congress, he would prefer to receive his money there.
Yours with great respect D. G. Ligon
