State of Tennessee. I say
To the Honorable Secy of War of the United States
William Graham, the within applicant for a pension, has shown me a note from Mr. Edward, one of the officers in the Pension Office, addressed to Willie Blount Eddy in which it is said, that if the Indor. before whom the above named applicant made a declaration, under the act of 1818, will certify the day of the do on which he said applicant was qualified sworn to said declaration, the applicant may, if entitled to a pension, receive the same from the time when his first declaration was made —
I do therefore certify that the within named William Graham, did, some time in the month of August 1899 (I do not remember the day) prove before me, by his own oath, of facts similar to those stated in the foregoing declaration. & that such proof was taken a view to his obtaining a pension under the act of 1818. I did think that the whole of said proof had been transmitted in proper form to the War Office; & if it has not, I presume it must be owing to some failure in the Mail — 23 d Augt 1890
