From Henry Woodring to Scott Johnson, pension clerk dated Oct. 12, 1925:

Dear Mr. Johnson
   Mrs. Daniel Dugger who has applied for a pension (Mrs Dugger lives at Chatham 
Pittsylvania County) and wishes me to give informations as to how Mr. Dugger was 
discharged from the army.
   I know Mr. Dugger was a member of Co. B, 18th Va Infantry, and I know this 
was at the same picket post as myself on the night of July 20, 1861 the day 
before the first battle of Manassas on July 21, 1861,  I know Mr. Dugger was in 
the first battle of Manasses.  Mr. Dugger was a small man, did not weigh more 
that 125 pounds, as I was a boy of 16 years.  I do not remember how he got out 
of the army, whether by detail for some government work or discharge from 
disability, but I do know there was nothing dishonorable about his discharge or 
I would remember something about it.  Mr. Dugger lived for many years after the 
war in Danville a most respected citizen.  I am sure Mrs. Dugger is entitled to 
a pension and trust it will be given her, but if any further aid I can give let 
me know.  Please let me know if the pension is granted.
  Sincerely, Harry Woodring, Cmdr. Cabell Graves
