Capt 6th Infty.

Dear Sir

I received yours of the 16th Inst saying you would be here on Friday next - I will try and get up the proof which is very dificult as I have to rely upon the memory of old ignorant negroes - The papers they had are often surrendered when they applied for bounty and now have forgotten the Co & Reg &c &c

Please see if you have a claim allowed to Charity Hunt as widow of Isaac Hunt for pension - She got the bounty in part and says she sent her papers last June through Meyers & Deadrick who will give her no information or satisfaction = Her witnesses say
