Added At Bottom Of Mitchell's Pension Application The Following From Mrs. Sallie

Mr. William A. Mitchell Appealed To Me As A Daughter Of The Confederacy To Aid 
Him In Securing A Pension.  He Stated That He Guarded Prisoners Under Capt. Dick 
Moorman At Danville And That When It Was Thought The Yankeess Were Coming He 
Came To Help Guard The Courhouse At The Call Of Dr. Martin.  Upon Investigation 
I Found That Capt. Moorman Commanded A Company Of Young Men From Pittsylvania At 
Danville The Last Year Of The War.  In The Military Records Of Pittsylvania 
County Filed In The Clerk's Office It Is Shown That Dr. Chesley Went Out When 
They Heard That Gen. Hunter Was To March Through Pittsylvania County--Mr. 
Mitchell Could Not Remember Whether This Was Before Or After His Service In 
Danville.  Given Under My Hand This 18th Day Of October, 1930.  Sallie H.  F.
