CONTRIBUTOR'S NOTE:
Letters included in file, but typed with ribbon that did not let letters come 
through; I could see that there was problems in that they could not find records 
of Allen being in Company C, and that the response from Allen did not 
come.

Letter from Office of Clerk of Pittsylvania County, Chatham, VA, August, 19, 
1913:
Dear Sir:
     Your letter received.  Judge Harvey approved and allowed your application 
for a pension on the  23rd May 1913, which application with a number of others 
were sent to the Auditor of Public Accounts Richmond Va Pension Department.  
About the first day of June 1913.  I suppose Mr. Johnson overlooked same.
  Yours Very Truly,
  S. S. Hurt

Record was found that Allen served in Company C..
