Letter from Alfred Castleman of Virginia regarding Pension for Service in the War of 1812.

Berryville, Clarke County

Virginia

Jany 31, 1879

Dear Sir,
Your favor of the 21st -??? duly rec'd, and contents noted. My infirmity from age does not permit me to remember with precision whethor or not I rec'd a land warrant or not; but if the record shows the fact then I must have gotten it, since I was very intimately acquainted with Benjamin Morgan & Treadwell Smith, who are both now dec'd. Col. Benjamin Morgan married my own niece, and Treadwell Smith was for some years engaged in business connections with me - evidence of which I send you. There was never any other Alfred Castleman in Capt Taylor's Company, except myself. In fact I am the only per-son in Virginia by the name of Alfred Castle-man. Enclosed you will find agreement returned with oath to signature accepted.
