After my Very best respects I wish you to examine my papers when you get to Washington as they give all the information or nealy so that I can give respecting my Pension—Capt Moses Guest was the Capt who I served under I was about the first on the roll I served all the time he did and he (Moses Guest) drew a pension as long as he lived (and of course I should) I got evidence of my Services and I told them to Col. Jones before I lef N. Carolina. I have done all I can do a bout it And if you can do any thing for me it never will be forgotten by your old friend and well wisher and pay you for your trouble
