To the Editor of The Times-Dispatch:
Sir.-The following from the Dan
Vile Register comes to me in a spe-
ciai delivery letter:
Roanoke, Ala. Dec. 12a1s14
Danville Register. DanvIlle, Va:
Sir.-I am writing you in the in :
terest of one j. c. B. Ambrose. who
resides at this place. but who came
from Martinsviile. Va. He has made
application for a State pension in the
state. but was turned down on ac-
count of insuficiency Of proof Mr..
Ambrose Is getting rather feeble. and
has no property, 80 I am going TO ask
that you give him local for, one,is-
sue asking any one who knew him
while in the service OF the Confed-
eracy. to write to him or me. Mr..
Ambrose served Mn the Danville Ar
ttllery, and went to- the war from DAN
Vile, Va. He says that he knew
Frank Woodson, who was on the staff
of the Register when he last heard
OF him, and he asks that he make some
effort to locate some comrade.
Mr.. Ambrose says that his last cap
tain was P. B. Graveiy. OF Danvilie.
and he gives me the names of some
comrades who lived at New Market as
follows: B. y. Price. G. w. Kennedy,
George W. Koontz, Milton Koontz and

odd years ago. Then he was a printer
by profession. and about that time was
the publisher OF n weekly paper in
MartinavilIe, and a good man he was
thoroughly reliable and honest in ali
things. i know nothing OF his mill
tary record. except such as I gathered
from often hearing him and other old
Confederates talking over their war
records and recollections of the 81 to
'65 days. But this I wish to say: My
knowledge OF Jim Ambrose as cit
izen, and, especially In view Of some
business transactions had with him
a long time. ago. would make me take
his word for anything, and II were
the commissioner or other officer of
any pension bureau to which he should
apply would take his word for It
